Re: Getting crash information

Hi,
If you don'y want to modify your application, one thing that you can do is

Well I can change my application, modify the source, if it can help me catch
the bugs that crashes my application. In this case do u mean I'll have to
use the MiniDump* apis that u gave the link of?

regards,

I want to know that when my application is running outside of the
debugger (in debug or release build) can I set the application/project
settings in a way that when it crashes it tells me which method of which
class it was running while it crashed. And can it also give me the stack
trace of when the crash happened?

If you don'y want to modify your application, one thing that you can do is
to make sure the Dr. Watson is set as the JIT debugger. It will create a
crash dump if you set that option. Run

drwtsn32.exe

for details.

I'm asking this cuz I'm running the app in a machine in which I cant
install the visual studio, but I do have the freedom of placing as many
files (debug dlls objs etc) as I want to.

Another option is to instrument your application to create a minidump:
