I'm trying to track down the cause of performance bottlenecks in an application I'm debugging under Linux.

Is ...

Our only view into the production system at runtime is logging. Although they can tell us what happened they can't really help us diagnose ...

Hi, I have a simple solution with a windows client and a website. The website exposes a web service that the windows client consumes. So far so good. Here's the weird part. When running my solution in VS, the call to the web service doesn't work when I hit CTRL + F5 unless I run it with a simple F5 first. So each time I open the solutio...
Hi, I'm using VS2008, in a normal mid-size solution. Sometimes, debug stepping becomes very slow. A padlock gets rendered on the every file tab for every "step" (F10/F11), and it can take up to two seconds for every step. That makes debugging very annoying and slow. Has anyone seen this problem? ...
I'm currently trying to create a macro to help me debug an annoying JavaScript issue. There's a function that's getting called and it's throwing an exception. I've tried stepping through to find out what code is calling this function (because it shouldn't be called) but the third-party controls we're using and jQuery are creating a mount...

However whenever I am stepping through code the browser just looks blank white. Does anyone know if there is a way to view your application as you step through code? ...
I know of the ruby gem "ruby-debug" that allows you to place a debugger call inside your code. Using it, it's possible to have breakpoints in your code. I used script/console a bit for some tests, and I would like to know if I can call it from my code. Thanks ! EDIT: here is some sample ruby code require "ruby-debug" [1,2,3,4,5]....
I'm porting a game to Android (there's a lot of code and very little of it is mine), and DalvikVM is telling me (through LogCat) all about the garbage collection. At some point in the code, I get a stream of "GC freed x objects / x ms" messages, basically informing me that ~150,000 objects have just been deleted and it's taking a full se...
