Now 100% updated to reflect Microsoft's latest platform advances, .NET Internals and Advanced Debugging Techniques, Second Edition offers focused, pragmatic guidance for tracking down today's most complex and challenging application bugs. Authored by Mario Hewardt, one of Microsoft's most respected developers, this is a "deep dive" into the most sophisticated debugging techniques for .NET 4/4.5+, Windows 8/8.1/RT, and the newest versions of Visual Studio. Hewardt helps you take full advantage of powerful debugging tools such as DebugDiag and PSSCOR; and illuminates crucial CLR concepts and behaviors every advanced Windows developer should understand. Step by step, he walks through a wide range of debugging tasks; addressing the assembly loader, managed heap, garbage collection, synchronization, interoperability, postmortem debugging, and the unique issues associated with debugging modern Windows 8 apps. This edition's extensive revisions range from the latest CLR constructs and debugging commands to major changes associated with memory, and new issues associated with WinRT process management. Reflecting his immense experience with Windows internals, Hewardt reveals how to quickly identify the real root causes of problems - so you can fix them far more rapidly and effectively.

A guide to tracking down .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. 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.

The First In-Depth, Real-World, Insider’s Guide to Powerful Windows Debugging For Windows developers, few tasks are more challenging than debugging–-or more crucial. Reliable and realistic information about Windows debugging has always been scarce. Now, with over 15 years of experience two of Microsoft’s system-level developers present a thorough and practical guide to Windows debugging ever written. Mario Hewardt and Daniel Pravat cover debugging throughout the entire application lifecycle and show how to make the most of the tools currently available–-including Microsoft’s powerful native debuggers and third-party solutions. To help you find real solutions fast, this book is organized around real-world debugging scenarios. Hewardt and Pravat use detailed code examples to illuminate the complex debugging challenges professional developers actually face. From core Windows operating system concepts to security, Windows® VistaTM and 64-bit debugging, they address emerging topics head-on–and nothing is ever oversimplified or glossed over!

“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.” –Jeffrey Richter, consultant, trainer, and author at Wintellect “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.” –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. 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 to Make practical use of postmortem debugging, including PowerDBG and other “power tools” Understand the debugging details and implications of the new .NET CLR 4.0 Master and successfully use Debugging Tools for Windows, as well as SOS, SOSEX, CLR Profiler, and other powerful tools Gain a deeper, more practical understanding of CLR internals, such as examining thread-specific data, managed heap and garbage collector, interoperability layer, and .NET exceptions Solve difficult synchronization problems, managed heap problems, interoperability problems, and much more Generate and successfully analyze crash dumps
