CLRProfiler issue on Log File

Question

Hello,

I'm not able to correctly use CLRProfiler v4.0 on Win7 64 bit, profiling a C# application developed with .NET framework 3.5. In particular I'm not able to find *.log file, and so it is not enabled the wiew sub menus.

I copy the profiler in the directory of the app that I want to profile, register the dll (regsvr32 ProfilerOBJ.dll), run the CLRProfiler as administrator....but the log file is not present in the default directory (c:\WINDOWS\TEMP) or in another folder that I choose.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for the support!

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Welcome to the MSDN Forum.

Where do you get your CLRProfile? Is it a Microsoft official site?

Anyway, please take a look at this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff650691.aspx 

It provides the download links and general ways about how to use CLR Profile. I hope this will be helpful.

>> In particular I'm not able to find *.log file

When you lunched an application, and do what you want, and then, you kill the application, you can save the log file manaully from the "File" menu: 

And by default, if you don't save the log, this tool will pop up a dialog to ask you to save it.

In addition, since you are looking for an answer, so I change the thread type to question. 

Best regars,

Hi Mike,

thank for your reply.

I downloaded the official v.4 version of CLR Profiler. With this version seem not to be compatible with the prevoius framework version. The Kill button is disabled as the Save As button.

However I also try the versione reachable to the link proposed.

After start the app. a dialog appears (waiting for the application to start common language runtime), and never disappear....

If I cancell the operation, and kill the application an unhandled exception is thrown:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

 

Any ideas?

Hi Andrea,

Based on your description, it seems that your program didn't work will, so please try to improve your programs, but it is different question from your original one in this thread. 

>>The Kill button is disabled as the Save As button. 

When you didn't start an application, both the two buttons is indeed disabled. So please load an application and try again.

And when you use this tool, which version do you start? The Binaries one or the Sources one? In my test, I use the Binaries one, and both 32 and 64.

Best regards,

Hi Andrea,

To get rid of above exception, please "enable unmanaged code debugging" under project properties and try. I hope, it will help you.
