Running Entityframework profiler on OWIN hosted .NET Framework projects

When you get into DB level issues with your .NET framework application that is using Entity framework, you need to start to examine what is happening under the covers using tools like SQL profiler and/or Entity framework profiler . These can help you track issues and work out strategies to minimise or eliminate nasties like deadlocks. One tool that worked well for me is the entity framework profiler. To utilise this, you need to initialise this with your application code then run the diagnostic tool to be able to capture the requests going into SQL. I did have to do a bit of fiddling around as I could not get it to work out of the box with my current setup of an OWIN hosted project.

Check the target of a .NET assembly

So you have a .NET dll and you want to know the platform it is built for. That is, you want to check whether the .NET dll was targeted for either x86 (32 Bit only) x64 (64 Bit only) Any CPU (both 32 and 64 bit) The easiest way to do this is to use corflags.exe which is supplied with the Microsoft Windows SDK. You can get the Windows 7 SDK from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279#overview Command Line to determine platform 1. Locate where CorFlags.exe is. Generally this would be under <ProgramFiles>\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\<version>\Bin\CorFlags.exe 2. Run CorFlags.exe <Full_Path_To_Assembly> . E.g. CorFlags.exe c:\test\test.dll 3. You will see an output like the following S:\r862\sp1\work\pcdm\std\cms>corflags c:\test\test.dll Microsoft (R) .NET Framework CorFlags Conversion Tool.  Version  3.5.21022.8 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
