title: Generate *.mdb file with Visual Studio 2017 for PCL
body: <p>I want to create a NuGet Package of an PCL that Targets .NET, UWP, Android (Xamarin), iOS (Xamarin) and so on (for Example lets say Profile111).</p>
  
  <p>When I reference the project in an Android app Visual Studio 2017 creates a *.mdb file which the mono debugger uses to enable step through code. </p>
  
  <p>Now I wan't to get the same result with an Solution/Project that just contains the PCL code.</p>
  
  <p>What I got when I compile my sample.csproj with VS2017 is</p>
  
  <pre><code>sample.dll
  sample.pdb
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>whats missing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sample.dll.mdb 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>At the end I want to be able to create a nuspec file like this one:
  <a href="https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/pull/167/files" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/pull/167/files</a></p>
  
  <p>Every hint is welcome. </p>
  
  <p>Tank you
  Alex</p>
