Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Converter
Converts between Windows PDB and Portable PDB formats.
Pre-release builds are available from Azure DevOps public feed: https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dnceng/public/_packaging/dotnet-tools/nuget/v3/index.json (browse).
Usage
The converter is available as a command line tool as well as a library. Both are distributed as NuGet packages.
Pdb2Pdb
Pdb2Pdb.exe <dll/exe path> [/pdb <path>] [/out <path>] [/extract]
| Switch | Description |
|---|---|
/pdb <path> |
Path to the PDB to convert. If not specified explicitly, the PDB referenced by or embedded in the DLL/EXE is used. |
/out <path> |
Output PDB path. |
/extract |
Extract PDB embedded in the DLL/EXE. |
/sourcelink |
When converting to Windows PDB do not convert SourceLink to srcsrv format. By default both SourceLink and srcsrv are included in the converted PDB. |
/nowarn * |
Suppress all warnings. All warnings are reported by default. |
/nowarn <n1,n2,...> |
Suppress specified warning. |
/srcsvrvar <name>=<value> |
Add specified variable to srcsvr stream. Only applicable when converting to Windows PDB and /sourcelink is not specified. |
/extract and /pdb are mutually exclusive.
Example: Create and build .NET Core Standard library and convert its Portable PDB to Windows PDB to be published to Symbol Store.
> dotnet new classlib
> dotnet build
> cd bin\Debug\netstandard2.0
> mkdir SymStore
> Pdb2Pdb MyProject.dll /out SymStore\MyProject.pdb
