The Only Complete, Practical Guide to Fixing the Toughest .NET Software Bugs

Advanced .NET Debugging is the first focused, pragmatic guide to tracking down today's most complex and challenging .NET application bugs.

Authored by Mario Hewardt, coauthor of the widely praised Advanced Windows Debugging, this is the only book to focus entirely on .NET's powerful native debugging tools, including WinDBG, NTSD and CDB. Using these tools, Hewardt shows how to identify the real root causes of problems- far more quickly than you ever could with visual debuggers.

Hewardt first introduces the key concepts experienced .NET developers, testers, and support professionals need 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. In particular, he presents the most thorough and useful guide to .NET memory debugging ever published.

Advanced .NET Debugging also offers detailed, practical coverage of postmortem debugging, the use of PowerDBG and other 'power tools', and, finally, the debugging implications of the new .NET CLR 4.0.

This book enables you to

Master and successfully use Debugger Tools for Windows, SOS, SOSEX, CLR Profiler, and other powerful tools

Go beyond code reviews and tracing to identify root causes more quickly and accurately

Debug live machines with zero footprint and no configuration changes

Streamline and accelerate QA testing

Support production customers using static snapshots, not live processes

Perform key tasks such as examining thread-specific data, the garbage collector heap, and .NET exceptions

Troubleshoot complex .NET assembly dependencies

Solve difficult synchronization problems, including deadlocks and thread pool problems

Track down problems with Platform Invocation and COM Interoperability

Generate and successfully analyze crash dumps

Gain a deeper, more practical understanding of the .NET runtime and its components

This book is a must-have for experienced .NET developers, QA specialists, product support engineers, and for operations engineers who maintain 'cloud'-based .NET software.

"e;Mario Hewardt's Advanced .NET Debugging is an excellent resource for both beginner and experienced developers working with .NET. The book is also packed with many debugging tips and discussions of CLR internals, which will benefit developers architecting software."e; -Jeffrey Richter, consultant, trainer, and author at Wintellect "e;Mario has done it again. His Advanced Windows Debugging (coauthored with Daniel Pravat) is an invaluable resource for native code debugging, and Advanced .NET Debugging achieves the same quality, clarity, and breadth to make it just as invaluable for .NET debugging."e; -Mark Russinovich, Technical Fellow, Microsoft Corporation The Only Complete, Practical Guide to Fixing the Toughest .NET Bugs Advanced .NET Debugging is the first focused, pragmatic guide to tracking down today's most complex and challenging .NET application bugs.
