Debugging C#
This course will teach you about debugging in C#. You'll learn techniques and approaches to debugging using common development tools.
What you'll learn
Debugging is the process of identifying the root cause of an error and correcting it. In this course, Debugging C#, you’ll learn to debug applications written in C# using common tools and techniques. First, you’ll explore basic debugging features of Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. Next, you’ll discover how to debug more complex defects involving data and logic errors. Finally, you’ll learn how to write code to assist with debugging your own applications and for working in a team environment. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of debugging needed to find and fix defects in existing code.
