Excluding standard directories from code coverage results with C++/CLI

I have a Visual Studio 2010 .NET 4 solution with C# projects and a C++/CLI project.

I use Visual Studio's built in unit tests and code coverage.

Other than the fact that Visual Studio 2010 coverage tool for C++/CLI projects seems to be much weaker than Visual Studio 2008 coverage tool, I get weird results.

For example, I get uncovered code in this file:

c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xstring

And some other files in that directory.

I want to exclude this code from coverage results.

Is there a way to put some exclude attributes on that code? If not, is there a different automatic way to exclude that code from coverage? If not, is there a way to use EXCLUDE option to exclude it? Can it be done automatically within Visual Studio without running the coverage tool from command prompt?

Any other solutions?

Well, the MSDN documentation you linked to says:

EXCLUDE option is supported with code coverage.

To exclude all functions in a namespace use the wildcard character:

MyNamespace::*

Have you tried /EXCLUDE:std::* ? It sounds as if that would be the way to go.
