Re: debug symbol issue in VC

Hello everyone,

I am using "Debug --> Attach to a process" to debug a process on my local
computer. The process is not started from my VC project, but already run as a
Windows service for a while and I want to attach to it to see some of its
variables' status or something.

I have the related source codes, symbol files (PDB) and the binary file
(running binary, including an exe and several dlls) of the same version.

I opened the project in VC and using Debug --> Attach to attach the process,
it is successful -- but the running binary exe and related dynamically loaded
DLLs are not run from the VC project (I mean from Debug/Release directory of
the VC project).

My problem is when I set break point in some source codes for the dlls (the
dlls are dynamically loaded by the exe using LoadLibrary) , there is error
message like -- "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have
been loaded for this document."

Do I need to set some symbols? Anything wrong or check point for this issue?
