Abstract
As a developer, you can easily spend 50% or more of your time in a debugger. Engage early in learning how to leverage the new debugging features in Visual Studio 2010 to quickly identify and resolve problem areas in your application.
In this session, we’ll …
- Deep dive into the new Intellitrace (historical debugging) feature, which enables to step back in time within your debugging session, without having to constantly restart your application.
- Learn how to manage large numbers of breakpoints with breakpoint labeling, searching and filtering
- Extend “data (pop-up object/variable inspection) tips” by adding comments, notes and strategically pinning these resources to maintain their visibility throughout your session
- Demonstrate how to engage in “collaborative debugging“ across members, teams or partners, by debugging a portion of an application and then exporting your breakpoints and labeled tool-tips for others to leverage your effort, without having to start over
- Look at ways to implement “postmortem debugging” by stepping through historical debugging files created by your QA team using VS 2010 Test and Lab Manager
- See how to leverage these new features in applications implemented in earlier versions of the .NET framework through the MultiTargeting features available in VS 2010.
- You’ll walk-away with a clear understanding of how you can use this upcoming technology to vastly increase your productivity and build better software.
