Debugging .Net on Production Servers

I’ve been meaning to look at debugging .Net apps on production servers for a while now since each time I’ve tried with DevEnv.exe I’ve found I can attach to the process, load up C# source, set breakpoints and step through the code but I can’t see the contents of any of the variables.

I’m sure I’ll move forward on this problem at a later date but for now I thought I’d jot down a url that discusses a SOSEX extension for use with WinDBG. I’ve not used it at all yet so may well be back with an update to this blog entry later on!
