Getting correct call stacks in VS Concurrency profiler

Question

I'm using the VS Concurrency profiler to profile a WPF application, but I can't get symbols for NGen'ned images like PresentationCore et al, so my call stacks all look like:

Is there a way to make VS do the right thing here? Edit: I have correctly configured my symbol paths, that's not the issue.

Answer 1

Figured this one out - if you follow the steps here, it works out pretty well. Here's the short version:

1. Start an elevated CMD prompt
2. set COMPLUS_ZapDisable=1
3. "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\ide\devenv.exe"
4. Go into your csproj settings, Debug Tab, and Disable the VS Hosting Process
5. Kick off the profiler - your app will be a fair bit slower because you're not using the NGen DLLs but it'll still be proportionally accurate in the profile result.
