Control pdb file output from build defintion file
- by Urvi
Hello,
I am trying to generate a release build with no pdb files generated. I have seen numerous posts that suggest right-clicking on the project, selecting Properties, going to the Build tab and then to the Advanced... butoon and changing Debug Info to none. This works and all, but I need to do this for a build of ~50 solutions which contain ~25 projects each! Other posts mention editing the appropriate .csproj file, but again, with so many projects, this would take a long time. Is there any way to achieve this via the TFSBuild.proj file?
I have tried adding the following to the TFSBuild.proj file, with no luck.
<PropertyGroup>
<Configuration>Release</Configuration>
<Platform>AnyCPU</Platform>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup>
<DebugSymbols>false</DebugSymbols>
<DebugType>none</DebugType>
<Optimize>true</Optimize>
</PropertyGroup>
The following line prints out Release|AnyCPU, none, and false, but I still see .pdb file in the $(OutputDir) folder.
<Message Text="$Configuration|Platform): $(Configuration)|$(Platform)" />
<Message Text="DebugType is: $(DebugType)"/>
<Message Text="DebugSymbols is: $(DebugSymbols)"/>
Thanks in advance,
Urvi
