ClrDump - Create small minidumps of .NET applications

New tool on my web site: ClrDump (Beta)

ClrDump is an experimental set of tools that allow to produce small minidumps of managed applications. In the past, it was necessary to use full dumps (very large in size) if you needed to perform post-mortem analysis of a .NET application. ClrDump can produce small minidumps that contain enough information to recover the call stacks of all threads in the application. It supports .NET runtime versions 1.1 and 2.0.

WinDbg the easy way

New article on my web site: WinDbg the easy way

This article introduces CDB debugger as an effective complement to Visual Studio debugger for various advanced debugging tasks. It shows how to install and configure CDB, and how to use its command line options and commands for retrieving useful information about the internal state of the debuggee – without interrupting the main debugging session in Visual Studio.
