• Visual Studio Microsoft.Common.targets should provide means of diverting final .pdb location

  We've long had the practice that we always produce full symbols for all of our builds. For developer builds we let the .pdb files sit next to the executable that they're for, but for production builds we shunt them all off to a "symbols" directory and from there they may be archived and copied off to various useful places. One of those places would be our own symbol server in order to faciliate both live and postmortem debugging of ...Show All

Why is that message appearing and can we make it stop I only want to be asked if there is a pending change. This post got moved here from the general forum.
