Exceptions and JIT Debugging

On October 16, 2009, in .NET, by Allen Ryan
If any application throws an exception and a user has not written some code that can handle the exception, CLR will bring about JIT debugging. (Do not baffle JIT debugging with the JIT compiler.) Pretentious that the user has installed Visual Studio, a dialog box will come into view giving the user choice of debugging the application by using the Visual Studio Debugger (Microsoft Development Environment), or the debugger provided with the .NET Framework SDK.

If the user has Visual Studio accessible, it is suggested that the user select the Microsoft Development Environment debugger. The .NET Framework SDK offers one more debugger: cordbg.exe. This is a command-line debugger. It comprises the majority of the facilities presented by the Microsoft Development Environment, apart from for the graphical user interface.
