Question
Microsoft documentation on Visual Studio states, that in order to open dump file, you need to do "File -> Open -> Project" routine.
However, for some reason, in my case VS 2008 does not see dump files - there is no Dump files (.dmp; .mdmp) option in the files filter. Dmp extension is not associated with VS 2008 either.
What could be wrong?
OS: Windows 7 64bit VS 2008 SP1 Professional. Dump has been created in 64bit machine.
PS: I've googled all web, but was not able to find a lot on the problem. Apparently, not many people encounter it.
Solution
Solved.
After installing C++ support for Visual Studio 2008 I was able to open a dump file for .NET application.
OTHER TIPS
Are you able to load it using the 64bit NTSD tool? Command line is:
c:\> ntsd /z dumpfile.dmp
If you're not able to load it that way, its probably corrupt in some way.
