Accelerate your debugging skills with VS2010 - Rob Vettor.

As a developer, you can easily spend 50% or more of your time in a debugger.  Engage early in learning how to leverage the new debugging features in Visual Studio 2010 to quickly identify and resolve problem areas in your application.

In this session, we’ll …

• Deep dive into the new IntelliTrace (formerly, historical debugging) feature, which enables to step back in time within your debugging session, without having to constantly restart your application.
• Learn how to manage large numbers of breakpoints with breakpoint labeling, searching and filtering.
• Extend “data (pop-up object/variable inspection) tips” by adding comments, notes and strategically pinning these resources to maintain their visibility throughout your session.
• Demonstrate how to engage in “collaborative debugging“ across members, teams or partners, by debugging a portion of an application and then exporting your breakpoints and labeled tool-tips for others to leverage your effort, without having to start over.
• Look at ways to implement “postmortem debugging” by stepping through IntelliTrace files created by your QA team using VS 2010 Test and Lab Manager
• See how to leverage these new features in applications implemented in earlier versions of the .NET Framework through the MultiTargeting features available in VS 2010
You’ll walk-away with a clear understanding of how you can use this upcoming technology to vastly increase your productivity and build better software
