Hi!

Any plans to support .NET applications?

I wonder, what is the need to use WinDbg for debugging managed applications?

Hi Volodymyr!

To debug crash- (mini) dumps? Also for mixed-mode apps?

With WinDbg v6.7.5.0 it works perfectly! It displays all necessary info 
like line-numbers.
Currently there is no way to display line-numbers for managed-code for 
any kind of debugging with WinDbg...

Hello Jochen!

OK, I thought that the main idea is to use WinDbg to debug .NET applications 
during development cycle - instead of VS debugger.

Hi Pat!

Thanks for your answer...

But maybe you misunderstood my question...
The question was, if WinDbg supports "crash-dump" debugging for
managed 
apps!
During the development-Cycle, it is clearly possible to debug with VS, 
no need for WinDbg...

But for crash dumps, there is currently *no* way to debug this dumps. 
The only (unssuported) way is to use WnDbg 6.7.5.0 which had this feature...

Is it so complicated to re-add this feature (display of line-numbers in 
crash dumps for managed code)???
