Body
<p>I am building my window service c# project of VS 2010 in Release mode. My first chance to get surprised was that it's creating pdb files even in release in mode. I was not able to load the debug symbols after attaching the process for debugging.</p> <p>My question is that if we have pdb files in both debug and release mode then why there is need for two compilation mode.</p>

2. COCheck in project settings->Build->Advanced->Advanced Build Settings->Debug Info. I think if it is set to pdb-only in release mode, it will generate the pdb files.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
