Hi

The .pdb is a file used by Visual Studio for debuging projects (ProjectDeBug I guess...) there will be a pdb file for each assembly within your project.

WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language. They are basically XML files which describe your web service.

.vsdisco is a discovery file for a web service. This can be used by Visual Studio to create a proxy class in a client application for interacting with a web service.

hi
thanks for your reply..but i have one doubt..
If i am creating a asp.net web application, why it is including .vsdisco file by default even though my project dosn't contain a webservice or .asmx file.

.pdb = "Program database"

Contains symbol information for your code, so that a debugger can match the compiled binary with your source.
