Remove .pdb file in visual studio 2010

Question

When I compile a .sln file with visual studio 2010 a .pdb file is generated. How can I disable the creation of the .pdb file?

Answer 1

There is an option in the "Project Properties", "Build", "Advanced...".

Change "Debug Info:" to None.

However, you should only do this if you are sure you don't need them.

It might be better to keep the PDB files, and just copy over the files that you need.
