Psscor2 Managed-Code Debugging Extension for WinDbg

Psscor2 is a Windows Debugger extension used to debug .NET Framework (versions 2-3.5) applications.

Psscor2 can help you diagnose high-memory issues, high-CPU issues, crashes, hangs and many other problems that might occur in a .NET application; in scenarios involving live processes or dump files.

If you are familiar with SOS.dll, the managed-debugging extension that ships with the .NET Framework, Psscor2.dll provides a superset of that functionality. Most of the added functionality helps you identify issues in ASP.NET.

For example, Psscor2 provides the ability to view:

  • managed call stacks (with source mappings)
  • managed exception information
  • what types are in the managed heap and their reference chain
  • which ASP.NET pages are running on which thread
  • the contents of the ASP.NET cache
  • and much more.
