ClrDump Utility

DebugInfo.com - ClrDump - Create small minidumps of .NET applications

"ClrDump is an experimental set of tools that allow to produce small minidumps of managed applications. In the past, it was necessary to use full dumps (very large in size) if you needed to perform post-mortem analysis of a .NET application. ClrDump can produce small minidumps that contain enough information to recover the call stacks of all threads in the application.

Use the following SOS commands to obtain the call stacks when debugging a crash dump produced with ClrDump:

.NET 1.1 applications:

!dumpstack -EE

Get managed call stack

!dumpstack

Get mixed managed/unmanaged call stack

!clrstack

Do not use it, it does not work correctly with small dumps and can destabilize your debugger

.NET 2.0 applications:

!dumpstack -EE

Get managed call stack

!dumpstack

Get mixed managed/unmanaged call stack

!clrstack

Get managed call stack

For .NET 1.1 applications, ClrDump uses undocumented interfaces implemented by .NET Runtime. For .NET 2.0 applications, it uses small minidump support in DbgHelp.dll.

..."

Interesting. Sounds like a nice Utility Belt item.
