start-aspnetcore-web-application

 

 

•.Net Core Web Application (exe) instructionStep select your ASP.Net Core web application to launch.

 

•.Net Core Web Application (dll) instructionStep select your ASP.Net Core web application to launch.

 

•Startup Directory instructionStep type or Dir... to set the path to the ASP.Net application.

 

This value will be auto-populated based on the path you specify for your application.

 

•Web Browser instructionStep select the web browser that you're going to use to load the web page.
 

•URL to open in browser instructionStep type the web page, port and arguments you want to load to cause the ISAPI to be loaded in IIS.

 

This value will be auto-populated based on the path you specify for your application.

•Start ASP.Net Core instructionStep starts your ASP.Net web application, then starts the web browser to load the specified web page.

 

 

Data collection

 

•Type of data collection instructionStep Are you only interested in Native data, .Net data or both Native data and .Net data?

 

•Native Only instructionStep Ignore all .Net data in the target application.

 

•.Net Only instructionStep Ignore all Native data in the target application.

 

•Mixed Mode instructionStep Collect both Native and .Net data from the target application

 

This setting cannot be changed after the application is launched

 

•Collect data from application instructionStep If it's the startup procedure you want to validate, obviously start collecting data from launch.

 

Depending on your application, and what you want to validate, you may want to start collecting data as soon as injection has happened, or do it later.

 

If your program has a complex start-up procedure, initialising lots of data, it may be much faster not to collect data until the program has launched.

 

If it's the startup procedure you want to validate, obviously start collecting data immediately.

 

seeAlsoSee the section on controlling data collection for how to turn collection on and off after launch.

 

seeAlsoThe data collection option may be disabled because of the instrumentation mode that is selected.

 

 

Slow Startup

 

The first time you work with ASP.Net Core and Coverage Validator you may experience a delay during startup. This is most like because symbols are being downloaded from Microsoft's symbol servers to match the DLLs and assemblies on your machine.
