Step 1: Setting up a new project

Launch ANTS Profiler from within Visual Studio

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.
