"No symbols have been loaded" - Silverlight project cannot find pdb files

"No symbols have been loaded" - Silverlight project cannot find pdb files

I've got a web project that runs a Silverlight app. Due to the massive build times I am trying to use "Attach to Process" instead of running in debug in Visual Studio.

When I build the full solution I can attach fine, but when I make a change and build the changed project I get "The breakpoint will not be currently hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document".

If I check the modules window and look at the the offending project I see "Cannot find or open the PDB file". I check the load information and it says "C:\Source\Project\Web\bin\myProject.pdb: PDB does not match image.: PDB does not match image."

After the build of the single project the following files are updated: C:\Source\Project\Web\bin\myProjectName.pdb C:\Source\Project\Web\bin\myProjectName.dll C:\Source\Project\Web\ClientBin\myProjectName.xap C:\Source\Project\bin\Debug\myProjectName.pdb C:\Source\Project\bin\Debug\myProjectName.dll C:\Source\Project\bin\Debug\myProjectName.xap C:\Source\Project\myProjectName\obj\Debug\myProjectName.pdb C:\Source\Project\myProjectName\obj\Debug\myProjectName.dll C:\Source\Project\myProjectName\bin\Debug\myProjectName.pdb C:\Source\Project\myProjectName\bin\Debug\myProjectName.dll

So everything looks ok. The same files are updated if I do a full rebuild.

I've tried copying the contents of the build folder into the Web bin folder. I've tried setting Symbols file locations for all of the above folders.

Thanks!

Are you sure C:\Source\Project\Web\ClientBin\myProjectName.xap file is changing. Check FileLastWriteDate. And follow my previous post about this issue.
