41.8. Modules

The Modules window (see Figure 41-10) shows a list of assemblies that are referenced by the running application. Those assemblies that make up the application will also have debugging symbols loaded, which means that they can be debugged without dropping into the disassembler. This window also provides useful assembly version information and indicates whether the assembly is optimized.

Figure 41.10. Figure 41-10

In Figure 41-10, the symbols have been loaded for the DebugApp1.exe application. All the other assemblies have been skipped, because they contain no user code and are optimized. If an appropriate symbol file is available, it is possible to load it for an assembly via the Load Symbols option from the right-click context menu.
