Working With Threads and Processes 

Working with threads and processes is an important part of debugging. Visual Studio provides an interface for attaching to running processes you want to debug, for viewing information about attached processes and threads running within those processes, and for controlling the execution of threads and processes you are debugging.

In This Section

  • Threads and Processes
    Introduces threads and processes, their role in computation, possible bugs that can result from threads and processes, and tools provided by Visual Studio for debugging threads and processes.
  • Attaching to Running Processes
    Describes how to use the Visual Studio debugger to attach to processes on your machine or a remote machine, set the current process once attached, detach from processes, and deal with attach errors.
  • How to: Use the Processes Window
    Describes how to use the Processes window to break the execution of a process, continue the execution of a process after a break, detach from the process, or terminate a process.
