Answer 1

Go to Project Settings, Link. Select the Category: "General" and check the "Generate Debug Info" box. After that, you can select the Category "Debug" and change settings about the debug file.

Here is the links to MSDN documentation about PDB and DEBUG information

Answer 2

I believe there is simply a setting in Project Settings to "Generate Debug Info". And there is another place where you specify the type of debug info to produce: map file, PDB (program database), et al.
