How to generate .NET 4 Dump files

Question

I wanted to know if there is a possibility to dump all stack variable when an exception occurs in .NET 4 so I can analyze it later (in production serveR)

Thanks

Answer 1

There are some resources around.

See Writing Minidumps in C#. Minidumps later can be analyzed either in WinDbg or in VS 2010.

Answer 2

The StackTrace class is intended to do this.

You can also gather important information like the source file, position, running thread, the method in which the crash occured etc.

Answer 3

Have you checked the windows event log, usually exceptions are logged there with all the details you're asking for.

Answer 4

windbg can do this.
