For application crashes/exceptions, just let Watson do its job: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/8103.application-crash-dump-analysis-windows-7.aspx. You can get very useful crash dumps that Visual Studio lets you debug into and inspect variables, objects, etc similar to normal debugging.
From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Andrew McGrath Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2014 6:19 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: re: debugging object Not exactly sure what you are looking for in terms of a nuget package but I do the following: In the exception handler I call my own Debug.ReportException method to which I would pass the properties of the "interesting" object as List<string>, then I include the stack trace by calling this code: public List<string> StackTraceToString() { List<string> sb = new List<string>(); var frames = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace(true).GetFrames(); for (int i = 1; i < frames.Length; i++) /* Ignore current StackTraceToString method...*/ { var currFrame = frames[i]; var method = currFrame.GetMethod(); sb.Add(string.Format("{0}:{1}", method.ReflectedType != null ? method.ReflectedType.Name : string.Empty, method.Name + " Line: " + currFrame.GetFileLineNumber())); } return sb; } and finally everything via an email to myself - the email being generated via SQL Server via script I found on the web. You probably want to add a utility routine to generically grab all the object properties as List<string> and then could pick which object to interrogate as part of your exception handler.

Want to be able to out an object and its property values so i can get more info when an exception occurs in my winforms app? Maybe a nugget package?
