new *.vhost.exe and *.pdb files in release folder

[Ryan Liu]

Why there are so many *.pdb files in bin/release folder after I compile a c#
project in VS 2005?

In VS 2003, those files only in Debug folder.

And what does new *.vhost.exe does?

Thanks!

PDB files are built in release mode so you can debug user crashes and
crashdumps.

The vshost.exe is a host application that Visual Studio uses "...to provide
support for improved F5 performance, partial trust debugging, and design time
expression evaluation."
