==== Paul: Thu Jun 30 14:07:32 PDT 2005 =============================== Hello Peter, This does not seem like a bug to me. The PDB file will always be generated is you specific to generate the debug information (line_generation ACE option). As with Visual C#, if your project build configuration chooses to generate the debug infomration, it will. After all we all need to debug finalized system some times :). As for the lib*.dll, this is not an assembly but the unmanaged portion of your .NET application. Our libraries still have some dependencies on unmanaged code. Your projects will probably run fine without it, however, if you were to use WEL or EiffelVision 2 you will need the lib*.dll because of the use of unmanaged calls to the native Win32 API. For the most part you'll probably never need it if you are using the .NET framework libraries. EiffelEnvision 2.5 actually allows you to ignore compilation of the lib*.dll, but at your own risk because it *may* be needed. If at any point your project needs it, the CLR will raise a file not found exception so you know that your application requires it.
