To demonstrate the various debugging windows and features, we will use the following breathtaking example of the programmer's art:

private void crash()
{
   int j = 0;
   for (int i=1; i<=100; i++)
   {
      j = 100/(90-i);
   }
}

Here are some of the things from this chapter that you must know:

• Debug vs. Release
  • How to control Debug: #define DEBUG, the compiler settings, etc., etc., etc.
  • No Debug output in Release mode
  • No breakpoints active in Release mode
  • The requirements for getting a breakpoint to break execution— there are at least four:
    • Compile under Debug
    • Set a breakpoint
    • Make sure the breakpoint is enabled
    • Start the debugger
  • In general, when do you get Debug and Trace output?
• The three (or maybe four) kinds of Listeners
• How to attach Listeners and when they get output
• Conditional compilation with  #if  and its relatives
• The seven debugging windows (remember?) and what each one displays
• How do you go about debugging things other than your own program?   (We didn't demonstrate this; but you only have to know in general terms)—
  • How to go about debugging an SQL stored procedure
  • How to go about debugging a running procedure
  • How to go about debugging a remote routine, and the requirements for doing so—
    • what security / trust must exist between the machines
    • you must be in the remote's "DebuggersUsersGroup"
    • "mdm.exe"  (debug manager) must be present on remote machine
• Trace switches—
  • How do you create a  .config  file?
  • Exactly what kind of Trace switches are there?
  • How do you set Trace switches in the  .config  file?
  • How are Trace switches interpreted in your program?
