How to write a sample code that will crash and produce dump file?

Question

I started learned windbg and I found this good post How to use WinDbg to analyze the crash dump for VC++ application?

Now I want to follow the instructions and do it

Answer 1

Dump file can be created either programmaticaly or by program error debugger tool. In first case you can use MiniDumpWriteDump function and in the second you can use Dr. Watson (for XP: have a look at this description and this very descriptive video; for Vista, have a look here)
