Debugging Pain–End to End
Thursday, February 21, 2013 7:18 AM

We had an issue recently that caused us some time and quite a lot of head scratching. We had made some relatively minor changes to our product and performed a release into staging for testing. We released our main web application as well as our custom built support tool (also a web app). After a little bit of testing from our QA team, a few bugs were uncovered... Read More...

Wednesday, December 02, 2009 8:22 AM

My good friend Wally McClure has written a short eBook on “ Building iPhone and iPod touch Applications for the .NET/C# Developer with MonoTouch ”. You can check it out here Given that iPhone is a very popular phone and that some of the development barrier for Microsofties like me is no .Net language support (Objective-C being the native development language...

Regaining results from a performance test run
Wednesday, April 29, 2009 11:48 PM

I have been doing a lot of performance testing lately, and one of the worst things that can happen during a performance run, is when you don’t get any results. Performance testing is expensive, from a time and resources perspective, so getting results from a run is paramount. In my scenario, I have everything automated to kick off a performance run, at 7.00pm... Read More...

Debugging Silverlight apps using WinDbg
Wednesday, December 03, 2008 10:29 AM

While working on a silverlight application for my current engagement, we were seeing some weird memory issues and application crashes. I won't bore you with the initial investigation of the issue, but it turns out we need to delve deep into what was going on behind the scenes. A fellow colleague and friend, Miguel Madero , was also encountering similar issues... Read More...

Tuesday, June 03, 2008 4:35 PM

Don't know if this has already been discussed at length before, but I found an interesting little tool from Microsoft Research for profiling the Javascript functionality in your AJAX applications.

Dodgy Debugging
Thursday, October 11, 2007 4:45 PM

In a previous post , I mentioned an obscure ASP.NET issue that had me scratching my head for a while. In order to track it down, I had to resort some dodgy debugging techniques which I wouldn't call exactly scientific nor particularly complex, but they did help, so thought I'd share. Basically, the page had many controls, and nested controls within many other... Read More...

Debugging Javascript on a Live site - Fun and Games
Thursday, November 02, 2006 8:17 AM

I was discussing debugging of Javascript on one of the ASP.NET Ajax forums recently and thought I'd share how I go about it, as you'd be surprised how many people are unaware of this capability. Note: This only discusses getting the debugging process going, not other debugging techniques such as using tools like Fiddler and others... Scenario: A site is experiencing... Read More...
