Profiler stopping while profiling an in-browser Silverlight application
Category: Troubleshooting & error messages
Date: 03 Feb 2011
Product: ANTS Performance Profiler
During the profiling of a Silverlight application running in Internet Explorer, ANTS Performance or Memory Profiler may disconnect from the session and start summarizing results.
There are a few circumstances where it will appear as if the web browser has exited to ANTS Performance or Memory Profiler.
· If there is already an instance of iexplore running in the background, Profiler may attach to that instance. In order to prevent this, check with Task Manager that no instances of iexplore.exe are running.
· Internet Explorer may go into "protected mode" when it restarts. Ensure that your IE settings allow it to run as administrator
· Ensure that no Javascript in the application is closing the web browser window - this will signal Profiler that profiling is complete
If all else fails, you may specify the .xap file and profile out-of-browser, if the Silverlight application is configured to run out of browser.
