IDiaDataSource::loadDataFromPdb
Opens and prepares a program database (.pdb) file as a debug data source.
Syntax
HRESULT loadDataFromPdb (
LPCOLESTR pdbPath
);
Parameters
pdbPath
[in] The path to the .pdb file.
Return Value
If successful, returns S_OK; otherwise, returns an error code. The following table shows the possible return values for this method.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
E_PDB_NOT_FOUND |
Failed to open the file, or determined that the file has an invalid format. |

Remarks
This method loads the debug data directly from a .pdb file.
To load a .pdb file with prefetching, use the IDiaDataSourceEx::loadDataFromPdbEx method.
To validate the .pdb file against specific criteria, use the IDiaDataSource::loadAndValidateDataFromPdb method.
To gain access to the data load process (through a callback mechanism), use the IDiaDataSource::loadDataForExe method.
To load a .pdb file directly from memory, use the IDiaDataSource::loadDataFromIStream method.
To validate a .pdb file without loading it, use the IDiaDataSourceEx::ValidatePdb method.
Example
HRESULT hr = pSource->loadDataFromPdb( L"myprog.pdb" );
if (FAILED(hr))
{
// report error
}
