I'm profiling a Windows service by attaching to it in the 'sampling' mode.
I open the results file, the "functions" view and I see the "hottest" function being displayed as [System.Runtime.Serialization.ni.dll] without indication of the concrete .net function inside this assembly.
It looks like all other symbols from ngen'd assemblies (.ni.dll) are shown the same way. Also, I don't see any symbols from managed but not ngen'd assemblies in the list, which is quite strange.
However, all the native symbols resolve OK, like "AwareLock::Contention(int)" etc.
Also, the Output tab says:
Loaded symbols for C:\Windows\assembly\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_64\System.Runtime.Seri#\12aaff696a0c54773664b4c5407deaa2\System.Runtime.Serialization.ni.dll.
Also, I have not launched vsperfclrenv, but everything resolves OK in the concurrency profiling mode, so I thought that I don't need vsperfclrenv since VS2010 does everything for me.
I've tried running ngen update /debug /profile but it didn't change a thing.
How do I setup my environment so that the sampling profiler of VS2010 resolves symbols in these managed assemblies?
Meanwhile, I'll try ngen uninstalling them.
