To see the real method name we need a tool.Īs far as I know you could try to use WinDbg, but I was too stupid to use it correctly - ildasm.exe does also work for our use case. The number shown in P7 is the method token, which is the IL representation of your actual method in code. P7 tells you in which method the exception occurred. P7: Finding the MethodDef token with ILDASM.exe Most important to find the real source is P7 & P8 - I will show you how to read it. If you have a bigger application P4 might lead to the correct namespace/assembly.


P1-P3 should be easy to understand and nothing new to you. P8: “a” = IL offset - in hex, in combination with P7 will it show you the exact position of the exception in your method. This is the faulting method in your code. P7: “5” = MethodDef – MethodDef token for the faulting method, after stripping off the high byte. P6: “56eb2416” = Timestamp of the faulting module P5: “1.0.0.0” = Version of the faulting module P4: “BreakStuff.App” = Faulting assembly and module name P3: “56eb2416” = Timestamp of the executable Let us know in the comments what you think of the infographic.C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Local\Temp\Ĭ:\Users\Robert\AppData\Local\Temp\Ĭ:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\Temp\Ĭ:\Users\Robert\AppData\Local\Temp\Ĭ:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue\AppCrash_1952fbbdf8ecceaa6e9af5c44339210849f4774_b2bbc455_cab_7634f669\memory.hdmpĮach P holds some exception location information: Did you know the most pirated piece of software is Photoshop, and that Adobe loses potential revenue of more than $18.5 million a day due to piracy? Even before the Internet was around, piracy was a huge problem but with the introduction of the net, the problem just exploded.įinally, the infographic looks at some illegal download stats. It goes all the way back to the swinging 60's when the first software patent was granted and to 1975 when the first software piracy cases occurred. Our infographic this week is on this very subject and comes courtesy of Starmedia. For every person who buys something legally, there's probably 10 who are taking the risk of stealing it. As soon as the new version of a popular piece of software hits the streets, it is pretty much being pirated before you can say "o-arrr!". Piracy and illegal file sharing is a curse for any developer and software company.
