How to debug EXE outside of project?

I have an EXE with an associated PDB file.  Is there a way to point VS.NET 2005 to these files so I can debug the app?  There isn't any project.  Just the two files.

Ok, thanks.  I don't want to get that involved with it.  I obsfucated an EXE with .NET Reactor and now it crashes before any GUI loads. I do actually have the project but I don't think .NET Reactor uses it.  I wanted to check to see why the EXE crashes but I'll never know because there isn't any process to attach to.  I have it set to obsfucate minimually an not embed DLLs.  I don't want to get all wrapped up in it so I'll probably just try the community edition of Dotfuscator.

I mainly wanted to use .NET Reactor because it keeps people from decompiling your code.  Do you recommend any obsfuscators?
