VS2010 Intellitrace, can you force the debugger to rewind?
I just installed Intellitrace and it seems like it is only collecting data from previous points while debugging and I haven't found a way to get the debugger to go back to previous execution points using intellitrace.
This is possible because this is what is implied in the marketing material that I have read.

From blog developers :
When customers first learn about IntelliTrace, what usually comes to mind is the ability to step back, in spite of your code, checking what happened previously with all the full functionality and information of regular debugging in real time. It would be great if we could fully realize this vision with IntelliTrace, but the limitations of both program time saving and log file size were reduced while retaining useful information. If your vision for IntelliTrace is gripping the whole world of data and might fall back, although this section below might be a little disappointing. But we believe that the choices made did strike a better balance between speed and size of use and valuable data for virtually all users.

Caveat emptor: This is shameless self-promotion, but I think it's pretty on topic.
You might want to check out Rec Debugger . It should do what you ask for - give you a step back in .NET programs. However, it is in beta and it is throwing NotImplementedExceptions all over the place. Also, it's not as fast as we would like. But I am very grateful for the error messages so that I can focus on the most easily encountered problems.
Again, I linked to the site I suggested. I stumbled upon this question while doing a google search and I am not going to keep spamming my site. (But feel free to vote if deemed inappropriate)
