Using breakpoints with remote debugger

Question

Suppose you open an asp.net solution in vs2010 and set breakpoints. And then you deploy the asp.net application remotely in IIS 7 on a box that has msvsmon running.

1) Do the breakpoints get saved in the pdb files?

2) Will the remote debugger msvsmon break on those breakpoints if you attach visual studio 2010 to the worker process running the asp.net application?

Answer 1

First question:

PDB files do not contain breakpoints info, they just have program information that enable debugging (matching statements with source code lines, etc ...)

Second:

Yes, that's the point of the remote debugger, so you can debug a remote process using your local visual studio.
