Hi all,

Consider the following code (written with Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0)

using System;

namespace DumpTester
{
 class Program
 {
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
   int test = new Random().Next();


   Console.WriteLine(test + new Random().Next());

   Test();

  }

  private static void Test()
  {
   throw new Exception();
  }
 }
}

When running outside of Visual Studio you get this nice window of Microsoft Windows 7 that it is looking for a solution. Obviously, since this is my app, there is none. At that point I create a full dump file of my application with for example Process Explorer.

I then open that dmp file from its location and try to debug. But whatever I try, it can't find the location of the source symbols. I tried putting the pdb next to the dump but it just doesn't find it.

What am I doing wrong?
