I need to generate .coverage file programmatic way. This post explains a C# code to do it as follows.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage.Analysis;
// You must add a reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage.Monitor.dll
namespace Microsoft.VisualStudio
{
class DumpProgram
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Process p = new Process();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("/COVERAGE ");
sb.Append("hello.exe");
p.StartInfo.FileName = "vsinstr.exe";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = sb.ToString();
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
// TODO: Look at return code – 0 for success
// A guid is used to keep track of the run
Guid myrunguid = Guid.NewGuid();
Monitor m = new Monitor();
m.StartRunCoverage(myrunguid, "hello.coverage");
// Complete the run
m.FinishRunCoverage(myrunguid);
Unfortunately, when I compile this code, I get the following error.
bin2xml.cs(26,22): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Monitor' could not be found (are you
missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
bin2xml.cs(26,38): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Monitor' could not be found (are you
missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
As this post says, there are some changes between VS2008 and VS2010, I think the Monitor class is in some different namespace.
What might be wrong? How can I generate the .coverage file programmatically with Visual Studio 2010?

I added using System.Threading to run to get the following error.
I run the command csc bin2xml.cs /r:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage.Analysis.dll.
bin2xml.cs(28,21): error CS0723: Cannot declare a variable of static type 'System.Threading.Monitor'
bin2xml.cs(28,33): error CS0712: Cannot create an instance of the static class
'System.Threading.Monitor'
bin2xml.cs(29,23): error CS1061: 'System.Threading.Monitor' does not contain a definition for
'StartRunCoverage' and no extension method 'StartRunCoverage' accepting a first argument of
type 'System.Threading.Monitor' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an
assembly reference?)
bin2xml.cs(31,23): error CS1061: 'System.Threading.Monitor' does not contain a definition for
'FinishRunCoverage' and no extension method 'FinishRunCoverage' accepting a first argument
of type 'System.Threading.Monitor' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an

I compiled the code with the following command.
csc bin2xml.cs /r:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage.Analysis.dll /r:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage.Monitor.dll
Then, I got these error messages. Monitor m = new Monitor(); is at the line 27.
bin2xml.cs(27,21): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Monitor' could not be found (are you
missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
bin2xml.cs(27,37): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Monitor' could not be found (are you
missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
