ANTS Profiler™
Walk-through 1: Performance profiling
This walk-through will show you:
- Setting up a new project
- Profiling a .NET desktop application
- Understanding profiling results
- Drilling down into results to pinpoint where time is being spent
Step 1: Setting up a new project
This walk-through shows how you can use ANTS Profiler to identify the most time-critical parts of your application. We will illustrate this with a .NET desktop application, Mandelbrot.exe, which draws a fractal mathematical function called the Mandelbrot set.
ANTS Profiler is integrated in Visual Studio, so you can launch the profiler from within Visual Studio, while you're working on your application. Simply click on the ANTS menu on the Visual Studio toolbar, and choose whether to profile a specific namespace, class, or method, or whether you just want to performance profile the whole application. In this instance, we're going to profile the whole Mandelbrot application by clicking on Performance Profiler.
