- [Walt] Are you getting the most out of your Visual Studio Debug sessions? This course looks at some powerful debug tools that help pinpoint the problems in your application code. The most radical tool of the bunch is the IntelliTrace feature. It will change the way you think about debugging. When activated, IntelliTrace captures and archives detailed debug sessions as they occur. Later these sessions can be reloaded and replayed to analyze each historic step to find the elusive bug. Data analyzers are important while debugging as they provide continuous details about the state of your code and the runtime environment. Visual Studio provides the Diagnostics Window, a built-in hub that provides an interactive view of the application performance metrics and other helpful tools. Code Maps provide a convenient way to visualize the relationships between any .net type or type member available in a project. This is valuable when working in large code bases or unfamiliar APIs. Dynamic maps can be created on the fly when stepping through code, a perfect way to learn to navigate through current and legacy code. Hi, there. I'm Walt Ritscher. As a long-time Visual Studio user, I'm delighted to explore these tools and other advanced debugging features with you.
