Cannot run 'dd' command in Visual Studio 2010 immediate window

Question

I am debugging a managed application using Son of Strike (SOS) in Visual studio 2010. I want to run a raw memory dump from a specific location, but I get "End of expression expected" error. If I attach WinDbg, then I can run same 'dd' command. How can I fix this problem?

dd 0x0050eeb0

Answer 1

In the Immediate window you have to use >dd 0x001AF2E0 to make it work. You have to type the > before dd.

dd 0x001AF2E0
End of expression expected

>dd 0x001AF2E0
0x001AF2E0  6d7c4938 ffffffff 001af34c 00000001  
0x001AF2F0  002dd780 00000000 002dd780 ffffffff  
0x001AF300  00000001 77a220f9 00000000 00713000  
0x001AF310  002711a8 00000001 00000000 00000000  

In the Command window you can just type dd 0x001AF2E0.

Type .cordll and see if the sos dll is loaded.

eg:

0:000> .cordll

CLR DLL status: Loaded DLL C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscordacwks.dll
