Debugging Stack Overflows on IIS
I recently had a problem with an ASP.NET application on IIS where IIS would kill my Application Pool process whenever a specific query was executed. There was no warning and while I could see the process disappear from my logging tool in real-time, I didn't get any error messages or exceptions. Thus began an epic adventure of debugging rules, crash dumps, and WinDbg. It's worth noting that I really have no idea what I'm doing here. Like most modern .NET developers I gave up this sort of thing years ago in favor of the debugging available through Visual Studio and other modern tools. However, it turns out that the only way to get detailed information in cases where IIS kills your process is to do it the hard way. There's probably also multiple hard ways to do it - this is just the one that worked well for me. Hopefully this saves you some time should you ever need to follow me down the rabbit hole.
