Strange Text to the right hand side of my screen!

Question

Hi, Can anyone offer me some advice, when deploying my app or even when creating a blank sliverlight app to either the emulator or the phone I see strange text to the right hand side of the screen. Does anyone know what is causing it.. The text consist of the following, three 000 in red followed by 001 in red after a space then 003296 002 001 00.0967 in white and runs vertically down the screen. Regards Darren

Answer 1

Hi Darren,

These are frame rate counters used to monitor performance. Details here.

Answer 2

You can back out of it and then relaunch the app from within the emulator, however you will loose connection with the debugger.  I do this most of the time anyways just because I find it annoying.

Answer 3

Cheers for the tip Works like a charm Darren

Answer 4

If you don't want them there, you can disable them by changing this line of code in your app.xaml.cs

Application.Current.Host.Settings.EnableFrameRateCounter = true/false;

Or use the suggestions in Jeff's post.

Answer 5

If you really don't want to see it, comment out this line in the app.xaml.cs file

 Application.Current.Host.Settings.EnableFrameRateCounter = true;
