Thanks for that Graham,
the problem is most likely because there's a space in the name of your application.
If your application was called QuickExcel for example it should work fine.
We have logged it and will update in due cours.
The behaviour of closing your application when you click stop profiling is intended.
Tried renaming it to QuickExcel.exe and got the same effect, this was working in previous build as "Quick Excel".
If I select an area of the timeline whilst the trace is in process I get data that seems to be limited to the area selected but once the trace has completed I cannot select an area to trace. / comments

When in "Call Tree" view cannot resize the "Time with children" and "Hit Count" columns.

You should be able to make columns larger but you won't be able to make them smaller. Can you make the Time column larger in size and then increase time with children and hit count?
You can make the columns bigger though why you would want to on the time with children is beyond me. [image]
You can make the columns smaller on the grid view. :!: / comments

I'm not sure that you understood what I was trying to say so I have taken a screen shot http://www.coralsys.co.uk/redgate/ants001.jpg.
I have also run the performance monitor and again screen shot is http://www.coralsys.co.uk/redgate/ants003.jpg.
Process name was "Quick Excel".
A question: When I press the "stop" button on the profiler it also stops my program from running. Is this expected? I usually exit from my program and then check the results. / comments

I am now seeing a summary when I stop the program running and have done every time since trying the new build. [image]
No longer seeing index out of range errors. [image]
Am seeing source code. [image] [image] [image]
However, [image]
No longer see graphical display at the top of the window. The actual grid is there but there is no data. Clicking on the "zoom to fit" icon has no effect. Clicking on the timeline to select a period no longer works either I always get the whole trace.
The two "call graph" buttons are now enabled (difference between them?) but neither do anything apart from display a grey and white checkerboad pattern.
When in "Call Tree" view cannot resize the "Time with children" and "Hit Count" columns.
Finally a small point - I am never sure if the "Show Insignificant Methods" button should be orange or blue. I think it would be more "user friendly" if the caption changes between "show insignifcant methods" and "hide insignificant methods" colours could remain but this would make it clearer. / comments

That's strange. What is Task Manager showing as the CPU level for ANTS during the time it's summarising?
Very little CPU activity (approx 1%) but I also looked at the program using Process Explorer and noticed that whilst it was "summarising" the following activity was occuring
IO Other approx 20 per second
Handles 700 -> 1200 -> 700 continuously approx 13 second cycle
Context Switches : CorExeMain
GetCLRFunction+0x1de53
CreateManagedInstance+0x8aa4
.NET CLR Security Runtime Checks climbing
.NET CLR Interop # of marshalling climbing
.NET Memory #GC Handles cycles 3000 -> 6000 -> 3000

I'm assuming it does, but with the very first time you load ANTS 4 (i.e. not having run any other sessions within the application), does it still happen?
Yes it happens every time.
StephenC wrote:

It happens with all of my applications except one. The one where it does finish profiling it stated "no results" but selecting the timeline showed that there were results. Also I got the profiler to profile itself profiling one of my programs. The instance profiling my program didn't come out of "summarising" but when I closed that instance the one profiling the profiler worked as expected. :?

We know of a bug when you go to start a new profiling session within ANTS as it hasn't all been implemented yet and it might do the same thing. However, if you aren't interacting with ANTS at all during the profiling and it's the first session we haven't heard of anything like that and haven't come across it ourselves.
Hope some of this helps [image] / comments

1/ Running build 242 I still do not get a summary displayed. Upon completion of the run I get the spinning circle saying that it is producing the summary. Today I left it running for 90 minutes whilst I went to a meeting and still didn't produce any summaries. I have yet to see a summary with version 4 and have runs from 20 seconds to 10 minutes.
- The summary is just the stack trace view. There is a known bug where if you drag a region of code during profiling and then click the stop button or close your application it will keep saying summarising and this will be fixed in due course. Dragging out to select the entire timeline would give you the same result or alternatively not touching the timeline during profiling and then stopping your application would most likely work.
FYI. I have run the profiler without touching the timeline and have tried both pressing the stop button and stopping the application and every time I run a trace the summary doesn't work. [image] / comments
