For the last couple of days I have been looking for a problem - with the conclusion:
My Visual Studio 2017 debugger cannot work with PDB in portable format in .NET Framework projects.
In the portable format, I mean going to the project settings, then to Build -> Advanced, and then selecting portableunder Debugging information.
When I start debugging a .NET Framework project built in this way, breakpoints do not fall.

When I pause the debugger and look for the reason why it did not load characters, it says (under Symbol load information):
PDB format not supported
.NET Framework. , , . .NET 4.5.2 4.6.2.
