How to force Visual Studio not to add GlobalSection(Performance) section?
profiling, projects-and-solutions, visual-studio-2012
Solution
Open the PerformanceExplorer in Visual Studio by using the Menu `Analyze -> Windows -> PerformanceExplorer` and check if it lists any session entries.
If so delete them by doing a right-click on an entry to open the ContextMenu. Then select "Remove" from the menu.
You should also check the folder of your solution if it contains any `.vsp` or `.psess` files and delete them. These are the report files of a profiling session.
Problem
I played with Visual Studio builtin profiling tools and now every time I check out any file this section automatically adds to my solution file: ``` GlobalSection(Performance) = preSolution HasPerformanceSessions = true EndGlobalSection ``` I totally removed all profiling reports, then removed local copy of all source control files from this solution and update to latest. This section still in *.sln file after any checkout. Other teammates who haven't used prfiler doesn't have this problem. Has anyone any ideas?
