Cordbg.exe — Command-line debugger
cordbg [program[program-arguments]] [!command...]
This is a general source-level, command-line
debug utility for MSIL programs.
It’s a very useful tool for C# source debugging
(make sure you compiled your program with /debug).
Source for cordbg is available in the
\Tool Developers Guide directory. You can start
cordbg with the name of a program and the
arguments to pass to that program. You can also supply one or more
commands (prefixed with !) on the command line.
After you launch cordbg, you are greeted by the
(cordbg) prompt, where you can type commands until
you exit cordbg with the quit
command.
Set a breakpoint, start the program, and step through a few lines of code:
