How to specify browser for performance analysis?

Question

Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2012

Version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.50709
Installed Version: Ultimate

Working on a Silverlight 4 app.

For debugging, Chrome is specified as the browser to use (it's the default).  In the Performance Explorer pane, I right-click on my project and select Start Profiling.  

IE is started;  how do I get Performance Explorer to use Chrome (or what ever browser I choose)?

Thanks for any insight...

Hi ccb2010,

Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.

Just to make this issue clearly, do you mean that it opened the Chrome when you debug this app in VS? But it opened the IE when you start the Profiling, am I right?

If so, you could try to set the Chrome as the default browser in your system. Check it again.

Best Regards,

Correct.

"If so, you could try to set the Chrome as the default browser in your system. Check it again."

Chrome is the default browser for my system.

Hi ccb2010,

Glad to receive your reply.

As far as I know, we could set the default browser in the VS, and it is different from setting the default browser in our system, but if still no help after we set the Chrome as the default browser in VS and our System, I didn’t find other way to change it. You could submit this feedback to Microsoft Connect feedback portal: http://connect.microsoft.com, Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously. Thanks for your understanding.

Sincerely,
