Question

I've worked with the Call Stack, Call Hierarchy, and Profiler. None of these tools gives me a simple, live "just executed function list"... in a tool Visual Studio window. I need something to look at when I click a button or link that guides me to a specific code file and line (if available).

I've found nothing of the sort. Maybe, even if PDB FULL is on, such information isn't available. I believe at this point that I'll have to write a Visual Studio 2012 Add-In or Extension to do what I need, but I run into problems there as well: For one, I can't get a function name from any viable interface unless I pause the debugger or encounter a break-point. Second, the application that I want the list for is a MVC app that runs as a DLL under "WebDev.WebServer40.exe".

I thought this would be very simple: From an extension, create a tool window and log the last executed method along with argument list.

Any ideas? Many thanks in advance!!

EDIT: For additional clarity

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you have Visual Studio Ultimate, you can use IntelliTrace. Alternatively, you can try Runtime Flow, but it can't work at the same time with VS debugger.
