If I am attempting to trace an application, does the ide generated performance report understand threads?
When I generate the reports from the command line, I get one csv file per thread.
When generating csv files with the command line report generator it provides a per thread breakdown. it just wasn't clear that that data was being processed correctly when using the existing (generated) reports through the IDE. Maybe the ability to decide if a per thread report is required to filter out some of the noise.
A couple of questions:
1) Is cross process instrumentation improved in the next version of studio. Sampling works ok but the ability to instrument a windows service does not seem to work at the moment. When I try it I am able to generate the data but it is unable to resolve symbols regardless of what I do.
2) Will you have the ability to extend the reports (to add custom report for application specific trace data)?
Apologies for the delay in response.
1) Err - this should work today. Can you tell us a little about the service in question? Trace based service profiling is really a scenario that needs the command line tools - Richard blogged on the subject (http://blogs.msdn.com/angry_richard).
2) We've been considering this for a while, but it won't be in VS2007 without more customers asking for it. Can you expand on the subject?
