My application Crashes when taking snapshots

Hello,

I am trying to profile a CAB/SCSF based application. If i take a snapshot before loading any CAB module, it works. However, whenever i try to take a snapshot after loading a CAB Module, my application crashes and the snapshot isn't taken. This works properly in 4.3 by the way.

I have tried removing most options, like "Profile child processes", "Monitor Disposal of objects" and removing "Large Object Heap Size" from the counters. Didn't fix my problem.

I am willing to provide dumps / anything that could help you help me, as this version of Ants Memory Profiler seems to be ALOT better than 4.3.
I have used 4.3 with success in the last months and seeing this tool really makes me want to go back and fix the issues i wasnt able to pin-point with previous version.

Thanks for your time,
Carl

    We're happy to receive mini-dumps from windbg. If you just let us know the exact profiling version you used. When you're ready, if you email support@red-gate.com I'll give you a ftp folder to upload to.

    In the meantime, I can see if we already have fixed that issue.

    In fact, I believe we have indeed :)

    http://downloads.red-gate.com/ANTSProfi ... AnyCpu.exe (ANTS Memory Profiler 5 RC)

    No need for the dump :)

    Yes, i was using an older version, 801.
    I upgraded 801 to 860, however it decided my trial was over (i had around 12 days left before upgrade).

    I tried my version 4 serial number, didn't work. So i can't really test it.

    Try the latest edition, we fixed the "trial expired" problem.

    Hi,

    The trial expired problem is indeed fixed, however i am still having the same crash when profiling.

    Ill send you a minidump when i get around to figure out how to do the dump. (I somehow tought that it was automagically created in my windows\minidump directory).

    I am working on other stuff right now, but i'll get into it later today. Thanks for the follow up :)

    We looked at the dump and we now think this is an issue that we believe happens when we encounter a value type that the CLR has not loaded yet but we haven't been able to reproduce this.

    Would you be prepared to send your project over so we can reproduce? I know that's asking a lot!
