13. Diagnostics and Code Contracts > Debugger Integration
Debugger Integration
Sometimes it’s useful for an application to interact with a debugger if one is available. During development, the debugger is usually your IDE (e.g., Visual Studio); in deployment, the debugger is more likely to be:
-
DbgCLR
-
One of the lower-level debugging tools, such as WinDbg, Cordbg, or Mdbg
DbgCLR is Visual Studio stripped of everything but the debugger, and it is a free download with the .NET Framework SDK. It’s the easiest debugging option when an IDE is not available, although it requires that you download the whole SDK.
