a matching symbol file was not found in this folder

Question

I want to use debug symbols, but I am receiving the following error:

a matching symbol file was not found in this folder

What

Answer 1

The same happen to me because the .pdb file of the project have not been copied to the debug\Bin folder, so the symbols could not be loaded from the .pdb file.

You must rebuild your project and manually copy the symbols (.pdb file) to the debug\Bin folder of executable project.
