Developer’s life Without Debugger

Debugging : What’s new?

• Debugging UI refresh – Peak implemented

• Support for debugging lambda/LINQ expressions

DEMO

Limitations as of today

• Don’t currently support lambda expressions that require

calls to native function like LINQ-to-SQL

• ASP.NET 5 with 64-bit IIS and remote debugging ASP.NET

5 is not supported. The debugger will automatically use

the old expression evaluator in these cases.

Profiling

• Memory Usage Tool while debugging in Visual Studio 2015

• Not enabled by default

DEMO

(Not)Supported as of today

The Memory Usage tool in this Preview release only supports the following:

• Managed Desktop projects, including WPF, Windows Forms and Console apps (you must disable the Visual Studio hosting process under the Debug tab in the Project Properties)

• Managed Windows Store projects (not Windows Phone)

• Visual C++ projects, including Win32, MFC and Store apps

• ASP.NET projects

• ASP.NET vNext is not supported.

• The tool only shows memory from the server process. The iexplore process running your HTML/JavaScript is not profiled.

• Only IIS Express, and not full IIS, is supported.

With VS 2015 CTP 6

• Exception Settings Tools Windows

• UI Debugging tools for XAML (WPF only)

With VS 2015 CTP 6

The Diagnostic Tools debugger window has the following improvements:

• Supports 64-bit Windows Store apps

• The timeline zooms as necessary so the most recent break event is always visible
