Profiling .NET Desktop Application - No Results Shown

[exx]

Hi everyone,

I tried profiling a .NET desktop app with ANTS Profiler 4.1.0.45, but the UI just says "No results to display" and the status bar indicates that its waiting after my app executes completely. Nothing happens after that.

I am running on Windows Server 2008 x64, with .NET 3.5. I ran the profiler with administrative privileges.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks for your forum post. It sounds like one of two major issues: either the Profiler hadn't hooked into your application or the application is not managed code. You may try enabling logging to see if that pinpoints any problems. You may also want to try the application event logs and look for a "Failed to CoCreate the Profiler" error messages, as this may indicate that the profiler core component has crashed. If not, then the profiler core component may have had trouble setting up a named pipe to connect your process to ANTS Profiler.
