Where is the application dump created by Environme

问题:

I am trying to use Environment.FailFast() in my application. The MSDN documentation says that it creates an application dump during application termination.

The FailFast method writes the message string to the Windows Application event log, creates a dump of your application, and then terminates the current process. The message string is also included in error reporting to Microsoft.

Can someone direct me to the location where the dump is created?

回答1:

I used the following code to reproduce the issue:

Environment.FailFast("Something bad happened");

You need to add the correct registry entries for it to place the dump in your desired location or you can read it to find the location. Here is the registry key:

which is

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps
