Advanced .NET Debugging LiveLessons (Video Training), (Downloadable Video)

–         Running the debuggers

–         Symbols

–         Loading SOS

–         Threads

–         Managed heap and garbage collection

 Lesson 1 also covers postmortem debugging.

In Lesson 2, Garbage Collection, .NET Debugging expert Mario Hewardt takes you through a high level overview of the garbage collector. He discusses how the managed heap is laid out in memory and shares important garbage collector concepts that every developer/architect should understand such as:

–         Generations

–         Segments

–         Roots

–         Finalization

In Lesson 3, Thread Synchronization, .NET Debugging expert Mario Hewardt communicates the importance of effective .NET synchronization debugging.  You will come away with an understanding of how to inspect Monitors, how to inspect Reader/Writer locks, and how to inspect Win32 lock constructs exposed in .NET. Further, you will be taken through useful examples of debugging that illustrate each of the synchronization constructs discussed.
