NCover

I have a coverage check configured in nant build files and ncover 1.5.x. I have installed Ncover 2.1 evaluation version and added //iis switch to the exec command.

I had working:

<exec>
workingdir="${basedir}"
commandline=""${nant.exe}" nunit.quick //a ${coverage.target} //x ${dir.build}\${solution.name}.Coverage.xml //w ${basedir} "/>

I have added:

<exec>
workingdir="${basedir}"
commandline=""${nant.exe}" nunit.quick //a ${coverage.target} //x ${dir.build}\${solution.name}.Coverage.xml //w ${basedir} //iis"/>

I did not find any coverage for ASP.NET (although I do not knot how it should look like, cause there is no example).

Next I have try'ed to remove assembly list:

<exec>
workingdir="${basedir}"
commandline=""${nant.exe}" nunit.quick //x ${dir.build}\${solution.name}.Coverage.xml //w ${basedir} //iis"/>

Still, no coverage for ASP.NET.
Next I have added (desperate blind shot) disable auto exclusion:

<exec>
workingdir="${basedir}"
commandline=""${nant.exe}" nunit.quick //x ${dir.build}\${solution.name}.Coverage.xml //w ${basedir} //na //iis"/>

Still, nothing that resembles ASP.NET coverage.

I use .NET 3.5, and precompiled ASP.NET application on IIS 5.1, here some output:

Please help, I am trying to evaluate if my company should spend fee extra bucks for ASP.NET coverage measurement reporting.

I seems that it is a case of web application being precompiled.
Is it some bug or you're not supporting precopiled applications?

When the IIS application is precompiled, does it generate .pdb files along with the assemblies? NCover can't profile without symbols. Maybe there is an option to generate pdbs when you do the precompile?

You're right, that was the case. The precompilation was setup months ago, I just assumed it have been generating .pdb files.
