We occasionally get a dr watson crash dialog on process exit. The process is .NET 2.0. The dialog is not very helpful. It says that the process stopped working and in the details I can see that it was about System.NullReferenceException, great but where is the traceback? Normally when there is an error in .net process a traceback is pri...
Hi, I wanted to know if the "user.dmp" created by drwtsn32 has only the most recent crash. I tried to capture a few crashes. But when i tried to analyse it, I just see one crash. Thanks for the help, Arun ...
I have an application that is hosting some unstable third-party code which I can't control in an external process to protect my main application from nasty errors it exhibits. My parent process is monitoring the other process and doing "the right thing (tm)" when it fails. The problem that I have is that Dr. Watson is still detecting c...
Apologies for the open endedness of this question, but I really don't know what to say. I've done something to my ASP.NET MVC Web Application to cause an exception which is probably occuring due to an NHibernate mapping error to cause dw20.exe to run at ~ 50% CPU usage (100% on one core). The browser doesn't respond until IIS times out,...
We used to use Dr. Watson logfiles and dumps for crash analysis in our production environment, but Dr. Watson is no longer part of server 2k8 and our infrastructure team has had issues getting it running on 2008. Are there alternatives that can be used in a similar way? In particular, we'd need the faulting module and address causing t...
Our application has been throwing unhandled exceptions. DW20.exe logs these like this test case: EventType clr20r3, P1 clr20r3.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 4af175d6, P4 clr20r3, P5 1.0.0.0, P6 4af175d6, P7 1, P8 a, P9 system.applicationexception, P10 NIL. P9 is the name of the exception. If the exception name is over 32 characters long, DW20.e...
Dear All, I would like to know if it is possible to configure Dr. Watson to silently dump a crashing process without popping up any error dialog box? We need this because I run a set of integration tests with some applications. We don't want the tests to be blocked by an error message box. We need a way to make Dr. Watson silent but st...
I'm trying to setup Drwtsn32.exe as the crash handler on a windows xp embedded system. I have run drwtsn32.exe -i from the prompt to install it as the default handler. Then I added a couple different fragments that would cause exceptions into our application as a test: int y = 0; int j = 0; j /= y; int* p = 0; (*p) = 0; ...
