Question
markf78 on Wed, 22 May 2013 02:58:37
I cannot figure out why Visual Studio 2012 is generating a mismatched PDB/DLL combination for my DLL, cncsupport.dll. I've tried rebuilding the application multiple times but nothing seems to help. I did not have this problem until I upgraded to 2012.
Platform toolset is Visual Studio 2012 - Windows XP (v110_xp)
Use MFC in a Shared DLL, No ATL or CLR
Output of symchk:

Apparently, the PDB files work correctly in RELEASE configuration but are mismatched in the DEBUG configuration.

Hi markf78,
I suggest you check the Modules window under the debug mode. There you would get some information about the symbol loading.

Hi markf78,
I am writing to check the status of the issue on your side.
What about this problem now?
Would you mind letting us know the result of the suggestion?

Hi markf78,
If you clean and rebuild your app, did you get any error message in the Output window?
Cannot find or open the PDB file
- Please run your VS as the admin.
- Check the Project Properties > Configuration Properties -> Debugging -> Working Directory.
- Select the “Microsoft Symbol Servers” under TOOLS->Options->Debugging->Symbols
If still no help, to get the issue confirmed and diagnose by product team, would you please create connect report for it? You will get email notification for update.http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/CreateFeedback.aspx, if you submit it, you could share the link here, in addition, if possible, you could share me a simple sample, I will try to debug it in my side, if I get the same issue, I will help you vote it. Thanks for your understanding.
Best Regards,

Nope, unfortunately none of these suggestions solved the problem. I always run VS as admin, my working directory was set correctly, and the MS symbol server was enabled.

Hi markf78,
Could you share me a simple sample? Please attach your Visual Studio project, you can upload it to the sky drive, and then share the download link in your post.
If there's any concern, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,

Just got stuck in the same problem, but in a C++ source that has 13 years, where its first solution was in VS 2003. Comparing the Project Properties in C/C++, Output Files, Program Database File Name, I found out that the project was pointing to the same file path that Linker, Debugging, Generate Program Database File, when the normal situation is to generate a vc120.pdb. Comparing with a new project, the "right" value can't be $(OutDir)$(TargetName).pdb (ou ProjectName), but $(IntDir)vc$(PlatformToolsetVersion).pdb. That solved the problem. I hope solve another one's problem as well =)
