I've found tons of blogs/info on running the builtin VS profiler on an Azure solution and it does in fact work as expected on the worker role projects. However, When I profile an ASP.NET web role, all of the data for the w3wp.exe refuses to load symbols so I am left with a long list of hex addresses and timing information I can't relate back to code. When I open the vsp file I get a lot of symbol resolution failures, as well as this:
VSP2340: Environment variables were not properly set during profiling run and managed >symbols may not resolve. Please use vsperfclrenv before profiling
Except I didnt run vsperf or anything else, the only way to enable profiling is via the "Publish" action on an Azure project, which does whatever magic necessary behind the scenes.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to get these symbols to resolve, or even a way to get these symbols to match up to functions (I have the relevant pdbs)
