Reasons to NOT run a business-critical C# console application via the debugger?

I'm looking for a few talking points I could use to convince coworkers that it's NOT OK to run a 24/7 production application by simply opening Visual Studio and running the app in debug mode. What's different about running a compiled console application vs. running that same app in debug mode? Are there ever times when you would use t...

Visual Studio debugger slows down in in-line code

Since I upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 from vs2005, I have found a very annoying behaviour when debugging large projects.

How do I set a data breakpoint in Visual Studio 2005 on the address of a dereferenced pointer?

I wonder if there's a way to do the following: I have a structure containing a member which is a pointer to a block of memory allocated by the kernel when I pass the structure to an API function (the structure is a WAVEHDR, the member is the reserved field.) I can set a data breakpoint on the value of the reserved member - that in itsel...

Is there a free python debugger that has watchpoints?

pdb and winpdb both seem to be missing this essential (to me) feature. I saw something suggesting WingIDE has it but I'd prefer a solution that is free, and if I do have to pay, I'd prefer to pay for something that is better than Wing. ...

Best XSLT Editor &| Debugger

Other than Visual Studio, what tool have you found best to create, edit, maintain, and possibly debug your XSLT files?

Python debugger: Stepping into a function that you have called interactively

Python is quite cool, but unfortunately, its debugger is not as good as perl -d. One thing that I do very commonly when experimenting with code is to call and step into a function interactively, like such: # NOTE THAT THIS PROGRAM EXITS IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT CALLING FOO() ~> cat -n /tmp/show_perl.pl 1 #!/usr/local/bin/perl 2 3 sub fo...

Help! Visual Studio 2008 just stopped stepping during debugging!

Hi, Big problem. I'm not sure what it was that I did, but it seems that I can no longer debug into functions. It happens in no particular place, just all throughout the code. I set a breakpoint, and then try to "step over" in order to go to the next like of code. Now, the debugger seems to interpret that as "continue". Even better!...
