Why can I still hit the break point without the pdb file

Hi,
I did the following several steps, and am confused why I can hit the breakpoint in the code behind file even after the pdb file is removed.
(1) I build an ASP.net project in release mode with 'Generate PDB file' checked by using VS.Net 2002
(2) I remove the pdb file from the bin directory.
(3) I use IE to launch the site,
(4) I close the original solution, and open one code behind file( .aspx.cs ) file in vs.net
(5) I attatch this debugger to the aspnew_wp.exe
(6) I am supprised that I can set breakpoint at the line in the code behind( .aspx.cs) file and hit the breakpoint there. As I said I have already removed .pdb file in step 2. I checked the temp directory for this web application under winnt\microsoft.net..., and the .pdf file is not there which is correct as I removed the pdb file from the original bin directory before I launch the site for the first time.

Am I doing something wrong? Does the debug information happen to be stored in the .dll(Is this possible ?)

Any one has any idea? Thanks in advance.

Try to restart IIS after you deleted the file and then try again.
else go to C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\Temporary ASP.NET
Files and locate the application and delete it. Then try again.
