The extension "pdb" stands for "program debug database" and it contains debug information.

I would try to
* rebuild the solution (don't have the English version but the short cut on my version is Ctrl + Alt + F7), maybe you need to celan the solution first (also in the same menu as compilation)
* check the project options if you have the correct "debug information format" in the general tab of C/C++ options
