The profile doesn't catch anything

I am running an ASP.NET app which uses Entity Framework and started a profile session but it's not capturing anything.

Please make sure that your Web Server is not running before you start the profiler session (before clicking "Start Profiler Session" button).
If it is running, please stop it and run your application again.

OK this works only when using VS's web server. It doesn't work using IIS and the fact that the web server shouldn't be running when starting the profiling session, these two facts are seriously lacking in the documentation! I wouldn't have been able to figure this out. Thanks.

Thank you for your remarks. We are working on our documentation.

LINQ Profiler works with the Visual Studio Development Server and Local IIS Web Server, in case when they are initiated by the Visual Studio.
We are investigating the possibility of attaching to the IIS Server if it's running out of the Visual Studio. We will inform you when any results are available.
