    Figo is correct about agent/controller compatibility.  You need to use 2008 agent/controller with 2008 vs and 2010 agent/controller with vs 2010.

    As for the database question.  There are a few problems with running them both in the same database.  Most are around being able to use the Load Test Results Management dialog for opening/exporting/importing/deleting runs.  Once you upgrade and run vs 2010 tests in the database, you can not use that dialog from the vs 2008 client.  As long as you are going to be using vs 2008 and vs 2010, I do suggest using the separate databases.  If you want to move a vs 2008 run to the vs 2010 database to make use of new features,( such as excel reporting) then you can export the run from the vs 2008 client and then use vs 2010 client to import to the new database.

    We do ship an upgrade script which is located in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\UpgradeLoadTestResultsRepository.sql.  This is useful when you are going to be doing all your runs against vs 2010.  For now I defintely suggest using  2 separate databses.  The vs 2010 database is called LoadTest2010.  So they can exist on same server.

    Thank you Slumley,

    I checked that site  that was for multiple loadtest runs,Here what i want,  I am doing single load test  ( ex: stepload start at 10 user...1000 users) .

    i want for this run  counters  Vs userd load graphs....Every time  I am manually exporting the values to excel and creating graphs.. that takes me lot of time... becuase of data and tomany counters...

    If you any quick soultion plese help me. In these new excel reports instead of LoadTestruns (X- axis )Counter  can we repalced  with userload /Time Elapsed ..etc.

    Thank you

    Hi Rav

    As far as I know, that load agents and controller for VS2008 cannot apply to VS2010 beta2.

    I'm not sure about the first question so far, I'll try to ask others further and there is a forum dedicated to VS2010 beta2 at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstsprerelease/threads
    Hope others can answer for the moment.

    Thanks.

    Figo Fei

    Rav - The built in excel reports do not provide way of doing Req/sec vs User Load.  However some on the custom reports that I put together a while ago did have this capability. http://blogs.msdn.com/slumley/archive/2006/02/16/533356.aspx

    These reports are based on reporting services.  But you should be able to use the sql script from this download and in that script, there is a sproc which generates the data you are looking for.  Then you can hook excel up to that sproc and create the chart you are looking for.
