Silverlight in-browser profiling stops with no results
Published 18 December 2012
When profiling a Silverlight application running in Internet Explorer, ANTS Memory Profiler may disconnect from the session and start summarizing results.
How to fix
This can be caused by a number of different issues:
| Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|
| An instance of iexplore.exe is already running in the background, and the Profiler attaches to that instance. | Use Task Manager to check that no instances of iexplore.exe are running. |
| Internet Explorer restarts in 'protected mode'. | Ensure your Internet Explorer settings allow it to run as administrator. |
| Javascript in the application closes the web browser window. | Disable the Javascript during profiling. |
In other cases, if the Silverlight application is configured to run out-of-browser, profile the application in out-of-browser mode.
