Learn how .NET garbage collection works and how to debug crashes
Self-paced and chock full of knowledge goodies
Walks through all the details of how the .NET Garbage Collector actually works and points out some best practices to make your .NET apps sing.
A deep dive into advanced .NET debugging using the infamous WinDbg tool. Not for the faint of heart. The file assets mentioned in this deck are located under the WinDbg folder.
Get your hands dirty rustling through the garbage
The CrashLab project is an exploration of thirteen devious ways to crash a .NET application. When used in conjunction with WinDbg as described in Part 2, you can investigate and learn how to characterize, fix, and avoid these problems in the future.
More devilish demonstrations of debugging, diagnosing, and discovery. Sixteen more suspicious scenarios sit in anticipation for your poking and prodding. (Disclaimer: It's been a long time but I don't think this was originally mine, based on the coding style, but I can't recall where I may have found it. But it looks interesting nonetheless.)
