Advanced .NET Debugging is the first focused, pragmatic guide to tracking down today's most complex and challenging .NET application bugs. It is the only book to focus entirely on using powerful native debugging tools, including WinDBG, NTSD, and CDB, to debug .NET applications. Using these tools, author Mario Hewardt explains how to identify the real root causes of problems - far more quickly than you ever could with other debuggers.

Hewardt first introduces the key concepts needed to successfully use .NET.s native debuggers. Next, he turns to sophisticated debugging techniques, using real-world examples that demonstrate many common C# programming errors.

This book enables you toMake practical use of postmortem debugging, including PowerDBG and other power toolsUnderstand the debugging details and implications of the new .NET CLR 4.0Master and successfully use Debugging Tools for Windows, as well as SOS, SOSEX, CLR Profiler, and other powerful toolsGain a deeper, more practical understanding of CLR internals, such as examining thread-specific data, managed heap and garbage collector, interoperability layer, and .NET exceptionsSolve difficult synchronization problems, managed heap problems, interoperability problems, and much moreGenerate and successfully analyze crash dumps «
