Palm Pilots...

I have a Palm Pilot, and I have the Active Sync software installed on my machine. Well, I got curious as to how Visual Studio was storing my data files (compiled and such) so I opened my /bin folder in the solution folder and noticed there was a .dll file with the name of my Solution, and the was a .pdb file with the name of my solution also. Well, I know the .pdb files are used by Palm Pilot applications, so I was curious if since the software was installed visual studio had created this .pdb file for me as well, and if anyone knew how I could put it to use on my palm pilot (not having a .prc) and such.
Thanks,
DSimmonHi DSimmon,

I believe the .pdb file you see in the bin folder is for something else. :-(

This is straight from Visual Studio Help:


A PDB (program database) file holds debugging and project state information that allows
incremental linking of a Debug configuration of your program. A PDB file is created when
you compile a C/C++ program with /ZI or /Zi or a Visual Basic/C# program with /debug.
Hope this helps!

Unfortunatelly DSimmon this pdb file isn't intended for use on palm pilots, but you may find lots of converters over the net for databases like access to palm pilots if this helps.
