Features: Software development is not a one-day task. If you want to achieve a relatively perfect final product, continuous debugging is necessary. Many developers spend a lot of time on debugging because they are unfamiliar with the development environment and tools. However, with some small tips and tricks, you can achieve a four ounces moving a thousand pounds effect. Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework provide a wealth of tools for debugging errors. The main goal of this book is to familiarize you with these development tools—introducing their usage methods and timing. This book can serve as a guide and reference manual for all VB developers. The book also assumes that you primarily use the Microsoft integrated development environment—such as a version of Visual Studio .NET or the standard Visual Basic .NET—to develop Visual Basic applications. Note that these versions are not significantly different in terms of debugging features.
In the process of software development, debugging is an indispensable and important component. It is an effective means to ensure that a program is correct. To enhance your debugging skills, Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework provide many debugging tools. This book starts with configuring the Visual Studio .NET development environment and comprehensively introduces debugging in Visual Basic .NET, including exceptions, threads and processes, logging and interacting with the programmatic debugger, debugging web applications, and some advanced debugging techniques. This book is primarily aimed at Visual Studio developers, but it will also be very helpful for developers who use the command-line tools provided by the .NET Framework SDK.
