Code Profiling: .NET Framework Symbols

Hi,

I am using the Performance Tool with VS2005 Team Suite Beta 2. In sampling, you can see in the call tree native dll calls listed like:

[ntdll.dll]
[kernel32.dll]
[mscorjit.dll]
[mscoree.dll]

I have set my symbol lookup in the Symbols properties of Tools/Options/Debugging to point to http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols.

Now I am able to see functions for ntdll.dll and kernel32.dll, etc. So that's cool.

Now, I tried also setting the symbol lookup to point to the .pdb files in Program Files/Visual Studio 8/SDK/2.0/symbols so that I can see the functions associated with mscorjit.dll, mscoree.dll, etc.

But that doesn't seem to work. I still get the brackets for fucntion representations a la [mscorjit.dll].

Anyway to be able to see the actual CLR runtime function calls within the profiler? Am I missing something with the symbol settings?

Thanks,
- Joel

Thanks for the detailed and clear feedback - I'm pretty convinced you've done everything right and this is a Beta 2 issue. One of our devs (http://blogs.msdn.com/scarroll) has been actively working on this issue since earlier today and promised to post with more information as it becomes available...

No workaround advice found yet - although just to keep the status flowing - it's been confirmed as a beta 2 bug and is being actively investigated.

(also followed up offline) This turned out to be a symbol issue and we are working on getting the correct symbols on the symbol server. Thanks for the help!
