The following is a summary of tools and resources that you might be interested in after taking the .NET Debugging and/or C++ Debugging courses we offer at Sela.[Shameless plug: If you haven’t taken these courses yet, I strongly suggest that you check them out. Between the two of them they have more than 20 hands-on debugging exercises which basically guarantee that you’re going to come out a WinDbg expert and be able to analyze dumps, solve problems in production, pinpoint memory leaks, and so on.] First of all, the tools you are going to need. This is also a list of what I ask system administrators to install when giving these courses in a disconnected environment:
Diagnosing a managed exception Managed deadlock with Monitors
- Windows XP SP2 or later + symbols
- Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010
- Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86) + symbols
- .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 + symbols
- .NET Framework 4.0 + symbols
- Debugging Tools for Windows 32-bit
- Windows Support Tools
- Windows Resource Kit Tools
- Sysinternals Suite
- CLR Profiler 2.0
- Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.6
- Application Verifier 32-bit
- .NET Reflector
- SOSEX Debugging Extension
Now the resources you might find handy. I organized these by exercise, so that for each exercise there is at least one reference you might find useful:
- Setting up symbols
- Configuring symbols in a connected environment (KB)
- Obtaining Windows symbol packages
- How to verify symbols with symchk
