Can't Open Saved Results

• 
  Hi, thanks a lot for the error report.
  
  I wonder if you would be willing to help me debug the problem? I would really appreciate if you could open the results file in a text editor (eg notepad) and copy the XML portion at the beginning of the file into an email to support@red-gate.com, referencing this forum post.
  
  Thanks, hopefully I can get it fixed soon,
  Alex

  Thanks for sending in that XML. I know what it is, and the fix should be out later today.
  
  Thanks,

  The latest build should now have fixed this issue. You can get build 719 from the forum post:

  I get slightly different error for the same results file in build 719:
  

  'Element' is an invalid XmlNodeType.
  System.Xml.XmlException
  at System.Xml.XmlReader.FinishReadElementContentAsXxx()
  at System.Xml.XmlReader.ReadElementContentAsString()
  at RedGate.Profiler.XmlPersist.XmlObjectLoader.a(XmlReader , p )
  at i..ctor(XmlReader reader)

  Hi,
  
  are you trying to open the old results file with the new build?
  
  If that's the case then it won't work.
  
  You need to profile with the new build and save the results with 719.
  
  Opening that file then should work fine.

  Ah OK. I didn't realise that the old results files were useless :P I'll try again with a new results file and report back if there are any more problems.

  The problem was with the way the old results file had been saved so there was no way of opening them with any new build.
  
  With V5 it shouldn't take long at all to have all your results again.
  
  How are you finding the early access build in terms of performance and features? Do you like the new version so far?

  Sure, I understand. The code has moved on since I did those results, so it would be difficult to re-generate them.
  
  On the whole, I think performance and features are excellent. Certainly streets ahead of the previous version My only suggestion would be to make it easier to find things that belong to me rather than those that are part of the framework.

  In the Class List there is a find bar at the top where you can type in your namespace or search for a particular class which filters out anything else. In the Summary there's a combo box where you can switch to seeing things just with source code.
  
  We have tried to also indicate in the graphs things with source and framework objects by fading out anything out that doesn't have source code and have objects with source in black bold.
  
  Any other suggestions that you would recommend?

  Perhaps make seeing just things with source code (which presumably only covers my code) the default option, then?

  We have resisted doing this for very good reasons which I don't want to bore you with but hopefully when people see the videos and other support information it will be justified.
  
  I do see how it would suit a proportion of people for it to be the default but hopefully with the easy filtering people won't find it an issue.
  
  Thanks,
