Does winbase::LoadLibrary() load .pdbs?

I have issues with debugging of a library loaded at runtime, and an unknown is:

Does winbase::LoadLibrary() load the .pdb in debugging mode?

Because if it doesn't, that would explain why I cannot use any debugging in my DLL, and if it does, that would at least tell me to search for the problem somewhere else.

Obvious follow-up: If it does not, how do I get VS2010 to load the pdb anyway?

The Visual Studio debugger uses the path to the PDB in the EXE or DLL file to find the project.PDB file.

The symbol file search is conducted whenever a DLL is loaded into your process space, independent of how that happens. Your problem must lie elsewhere.
