How to get coverage info of .Net dlls?

Hi,

I need to get coverage info of .Net dlls such as mscorlib.dll and System.XML.dll. I remove all entries under "<ncover.systemAssemblies>" of the NCover.Console.exe.config file, but I still cannot get the coverage info. For System.XML, I can see an entry, but the entry does not show any coverage info. For classes declared in mscorlib.dll (e.g., System.String), I cannot even see an entry. Can somebody help me out?

Thanks in advance.

ackel,

What does your console log report? If you like, I can take a look at it for you. Just pass it to me through support@ncover.com. I'm interested to know what system you're running (32- or 64-bit). If you're trying to run 32-bit NCover on a 64-bit system, perhaps you're editing the wrong config file. There's another one for the 32-bit, usually installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\NCover.

I can see the System item under the Explore view of NCover. However, the Sytem item is gray, and no coverage info is presented. I also try NUnit, but the same result. My console log for MSTest is as follows:
