Generating .NET crash dumps automatically

Question

I know how to generate Crash Dump files with ADPlus or DebugDiag, but I\'m wondering if there is a way to do this on a customer\'s computer without installing these tools...

Answer 1

You can call Environment.FailFast, which will:

The FailFast method writes the message string to the Windows Application event log, creates a dump of your application, and then terminates the current process. The message string is also included in error reporting to Microsoft.

Among other things.
