How to enable JIT (Just In Time) debugging

[tidybear12]

I downloaded EventId to get a handle on the event logs. But - bummer - it cannot start doing its job until I enable JIT. (Who says anything could ever be easy??)



It gives me a hint on how to do this but unfortunately I need more than that. Here is what it says:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

My question is, where would I put in the above code? I immediately turned to the command tool but it tells me it doesn't accept this format.


Do I have to make the in feared registry?? (I hope not!!!)


(Sorry if this isn't the right forum. I didn't see one that I thought would be more appropriate.)


Thanks in advance.

Hi tidybear12,

Have you looked at this: Just-In-Time Debugging in Visual Studio

I hope this helps!
