Slides and resources for TechED presentations about debugging .NET issues with Windbg

I still have to figure out a way to host the video from the break-out session but until then, here are the slides for my presentations (attached).

And here are a list of some of the tools and resources I used for the presentations

    Hi Tess, very nice compilation of tools. I had just a look at DebugDiag. Since I am developing on the x64 platform I would need a 64-bit version of it. So far I have not found it. Is a 64-bit version available? Yours,   Alois Kraus
