Question

How do I view a datetime that is being passed in as a parameter?

I found this example on the internet but I am having problems understanding it? I dont see where they use the output from clrstack at all, it just says “View the stack by dumping the memory from ESP forward:”

after RSP i see lots of these. Is there a real way to do this?

000000001d25f010 000007ff001872de method(System.DateTime)
    PARAMETERS:
        this = 0x00000000024ebcf8
        time = 0x48cfc7d6ced5a501

Answer 1

Download psscor2 or psscor4 (which is a superset of sos) from Microsoft and use this command:

!help PrintDateTime

!PrintDateTime object_address

!PrintDateTime will print out the time of the System.DateTime object that is
passed to it.

ps. psscor2 is for .net v2 and psscor4 is for .net v4
