 Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2011 4:42 pm Post subject: Profiling against IISExpress 7.5 |
 |
|
I can't seem to figure out how to make this work.
Developing on Server2008 which is x64
Visual Studio 2010
ANTS Performance Profiler 6.3
The app runs through IISExpress 7.5 as an option
in the project properties.
Reason I ask about this is there the app behaves differently
on Cassini and we are not allowed to run full blown IIS on
our development box.
Thanks. |

It's not clear what the exact problem you are having is.
What happens when you click on "Start Profiling"? |

The IISExpress is greyed out as a choice to attach to because it
seems there is a constraint only allowing .Net 2.0. Now, I don't
know that is actually case, only what I can infer from the screens.
Is there anything I can give/show/steps to help find the real issue? |

Nobody has tested Profiler with IISExpress but supposedly you can profile IISExpress.exe as a desktop application. Actually in theory it should work a lot better than the current IIS support, which is not without its' problems.

As Brian says, if you've been trying to profile using the "Attach to process" profiling mode, you may get better results instead by choosing the ".NET executable" application type on Application Settings:
1. In the ".NET executable" field, tell ANTS to profile the IIS worker process (probably something like C:Program Files (x86)IIS Expressiisexpress.exe)
2. In the "Arguments" field, specify the app you want to profile - e.g. /site:"MyCMSSystem"
Does this help at all? |

There are a few different ways you can launch a website with IISExpress. Please reference the MS help for a description of the arguments:

OK, great. I can use the command line option and got that working just fine.
I guess it would be nice if there was a hook like how it works for the Cassini development server.
In case anyone else has the same problem. I found using the /config
and a customized applicationhost.config file to be the easiest for the
IISExpress command line switches.
Thanks! |
