The most used command in the SOS extension DLL is probably !dumpheap . This command is able to show every object on the managed heap. This capability has no match within Visual Studio. The reason is that Visual Studio uses the CLR debugging API , that doesn’t seem to have this capability. At first glance, the ICorDebugProcess interface has the perfect method: EnumerateObjects . What could be better than that? Unfortunately, the documentation states that this method is not implemented… bummer. A while...

CLR Explorer v. 0.3

In the last few days I created the first version of a tool I call "CLR Explorer". This tool allows viewing live CLR-enabled processes, showing the AppDomains, threads and assemblies in those processes. The application is similar in look to Windows Explorer, with a tree-like view on the left and a list view on the right. Here's a screen shot: The tool works by utilizing the native debug interfaces the CLR provides, namely ICorDebug and its derivatives, such as ICorDebugProcess and the...
