Visual Studio Crashes When Trying to analyze profiling report

Question

I am trying to do Profiling on ASP.Net4.0 application. The profiler runs fine. After it finishes and generates report, everytime I click on any of the method name links, Visual Studio 2010 will crash and retstart. And this happens consistently. Here is the entry in event log, everytime VS2010 crash.

Could you please repair Visual Studio and then open the analysis report again?

Answer 3

Same problem.  SP1 installed

Answer 4

Would it be possible for you to share out the VSP in question.  ASP.NET profiling has been mentioned.  Have you experienced this in any other profiling experience?  Can you elaborate on how you collected this report?  Also it would be interesting to see if VSPerfReport.exe crashes.

 

From a VS command prompt please run the following on the VSP in question:

 

VSPerfReport.exe /summary:all <vsp_report>

Answer 5

I forgot to mention that I'm actually profiling a C#/WPF solution; sorry about that. I collected the report using the performance wizard and its default settings (sample-based profiling). I tried the VSPerfReport from the command-line as  you suggested and it seems to work fine. I will check if the VSP can be shared.

Answer 6

I have these same issues as well, in both C# and C++. Everything works fine until the very moment I click on a function to investigate in the summary, at which point visual studio just crashes. It always crashes in the function detail screen. The screen shows up for a moment with everything shown except  the source itself which never shows up (even when its a function within the current project), so the problem might arise when it's trying to built up that part of the screen.

 

Answer 7

I noticed that after I turned on "enable source server support" and compiled my project with debug information to full (it was set to none before), that the crash problems went away for me.

Answer 8

I got the same problem. I also get an error when I first try to add a target to the performance session: "Unable to cast object of type 'System.IntPtr' to type 'System.IConvertible'".

I try to profile a Windows Forms application

VB.NET Visual Studio 2010 SP1.

Using VSPerfReport.exe does not crash, a few .CSV files are created

Answer 9

Having this problem in VS2010SP1.   When loading a vsp file (any vsp file), it analyzes for a bit, then attempts to display (I assume the summary page), then crashes VS.   Error dialog presents this data:
