Disable generating PDB files in MsBuild

c# debugging build msbuild

I'm looking to squeeze some more speed out of my build and was wondering if I could instruct msbuild to not generate PDB files. I'm passing the Configuration=Release and DebugSymbols=false property with no luck.


You may have PDB generation in your release configuration. Add this to your release settings:

<DebugSymbols>false</DebugSymbols>
<DebugType>None</DebugType>

You can also, do this in your project configuration inside visual studio. Disable PDB Generation

Also, if running MSBuild from the command line, the command line arguments would be 

MSBuild.exe YourProject.csproj /p:DebugSymbols=false /p:DebugType=None
