Waiting for a managed application to start
Dear Sir,
I'm using VS 2013 pro.
I can run my application in the browser.
I have just installed resharper dottrace to test the performance of my application.
First Step
Here I have choosen IIS Express, and the configuration file is also choosen but when I click on run I get nothing except 1 window.
Second Step
This time I have choosen IIS, I have provided the URL as well, after clicking on Run it open my application but same window
Any idea what am I doing wrong?
Kind regards
Hamid

Hi,
"Waiting for a managed application to start" message means that dotTrace can't detect any managed IIS/IIS Express processes for profiling. Please try to open some page (which runs a managed code) in your application after start of profiling.
Also, before using IIS Express profiling, please make sure that you don't have any other instances of your application hosted on IIS Express (you need to stop running instances from IIS Express system tray icon).
Same issue for me. I've chosen IIS, but no matter how many requests I'm issuing to the web app, the profiling controller won't get out of status "Waiting for a managed application to start". I'm running dotTrace 2017.3.3 in VS 2015 (14.0.2.25431.1).
Martin,
Please make sure that requests you're sending to the app are processed by .NET code.
Do you see a w3wp.exe process in the "Attach to Running App" section of standalone dotTrace (dotTrace Home)? Are you able to attach to it? If so, could you please create a support ticket ("Submit a request" button in the upper right corner)?
Konstantin,
sorry for coming back so late on that topic... If I run dotTrace standalone, I do see a w3wp process (actually several, since there are several applications deployed) in the "Attach to running app" section. However, when trying to connect to one of them, an error window pops up, stating "Failed to start profiling: Unable to start profiling". Will file a support ticket...
Kind regards
Martin
