Debugging Managed Code using WinDbg
Objective: Introduce WinDbg and related tools as useful supplements to Visual Studio for .NET developers. Motivation: With WinDbg we can peek under the hood of any .NET program and see how memory is actually used, find leaks, investigate why objects aren’t garbage collected, and detect deadlocks. Supporting tools such as ADPlus allows us to grab memory dumps of live processes for debugging “offline” or post mortem. How: Slides and demos of well known problems (memory leaks, application crashes, deadlocks). |
