As a .net developer there are times when one is asked to debug at different machines (32 & 64 bit) other than ones own developer machine. Lot of times some important tool is missing and I have to install them first to start the debugging. Then I started to collect some portable tools in a 1GB memory stick. Currently it contains Windbg 32 & 64 bit portable. ildasm FUSLOGVW.exe Windiff graphedt.exe Remote debugger 32 & 64 Sysinternal suite Oleview.exe are there any more portable tools that I can add to the collection that will help debug a problem in a .net application. what is your portable collection?

I would add Reflector to that and for WinDbg you really should get SOSEX and PSSCOR2 to complement SOS.

mdbg on a USB stick is invaluable!

Your collection seems to be missing Reflector and Dependency walker

Well, my thumb drive mostly has tools to fix relatives' virus-infested PCs, but among the developer tool include WinMerge and Fiddler. You may also wish to check out Portable Freeware which has several "Programming" categories.
