About this tag
The .net debugging tag on WindowsForum.com gathers discussion of diagnosing .NET applications while they are still running, including a C# thread-pool watcher that captures memory dumps after delays on Windows and Linux. That example shows how to trigger a dump automatically when a thread-pool task runs too long, calling MiniDumpWriteDump on Windows and the runtime's createdump utility on Linux. The practical focus is collecting evidence during the problem rather than reproducing it later, which raises real questions about triggering thresholds, permissions, sensitive data in dumps, and what to do when collection fails.

    C# Thread-Pool Watcher Captures Dumps After Delays on Windows/Linux

    Creating a memory dump in C# can help developers investigate an unresponsive.NET application by preserving its process state, and Microsoft’s September 22, 2026 example shows how to trigger that capture automatically on Windows and Linux when a thread-pool task takes too long to run. The Windows...
