Crash During Profiling

I'm profiling a Windows Service that uses the LocalReport class (from Microsoft.Reporting) to render some PDF reports.

My application runs fine without the Profiler attached, but when I attach the Profiler, I get the following exception after 15 to 20 reports have been generated: 
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.LocalProcessingException: An error occurred during local report processing. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.WrapperReportRenderingException: An error occurred during rendering of the report. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering.ReportRenderingException: An error occurred during rendering of the report. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I have tried all the various profiling modes and all result in a crash.

    Hi,

    Can I just check first - When you say that you have tried it with all the "different profiling modes" are you referring to the Performance Profiler?

    It's just that this is the ANTS Memory Profiler forum and there aren't really any modes as such with the memory profiler but the performance profiler has different modes.

    Just wanted to clarify before continuing.

    Regards,

    Stephen

    Whoops. You're correct. I meant to post this in the ANTS Performance Profiler forum. Can somebody move it for me, or should I just repost.

    SOrry.

    I'll move it. :D

    It doesn't look like there's anything in that stack trace from the Profiler that's crashing although it's causing some unknown issue. As a result I doubt there would be anything in our log files but you could send them in just to double check. If you go to the Help menu there's an option to open log file folder.

    Send the log files to support@red-gate.com referencing this post.

    Is there anyway that you could send a small demo application that replicates the crash? That's often the easiest way to track these down when the app in question is crashing rather than the profiler.

    I'll send the log file. I might be able to create a demo app, but not until after the holiday weekend.

    Thanks.

    The ANTS team are on a day out tomorrow so that works out quite well. :)

    Enjoy your weekend and get in touch when it's convenient for you and we will take it from there.

    We now have two workarounds for crashes:

    1. What we have found that works is disabling the server garbage collector as described here: <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911716&gt;
    Remember- "server GC" actually means multi-core GC.

    2. Parametize your main method with:

    [System.LoaderOptimization(LoaderOptimization.MultiDomain)]

    or

    [System.LoaderOptimization(LoaderOptimization.MultiDomainHost)]

    If you don't have a main method, for example: if you have a WPF project, take a look at this article which shows you how to do it:
