ANTS Profiler

Walk-through 1: Performance profiling

This walk-through will show you:

  • How to set up a new project and start profiling
  • How to interact with the timeline
  • How to drill down into the results to identify the bottleneck
  • How to extract the most out of the source-code pane

Step 2: Setting up a project

Set your profiling session

ANTS Profiler is launched, and this window automatically opens up. Here, you can set up your profiling session by choosing:

  1. The type of application to profile (.NET desktop application, ASP.NET, Windows service, etc.)
  2. The application you want to profile (.exe file)
  3. The level of granularity, by picking the profiling mode you want to use (line-level and method-level timings, just method timings, or method timings for method with source code only)
  4. The timing display you prefer (CPU or wall clock)
  5. Whether you also want to profile child processes
  6. The working directory to work from  

For this walk-through, we have chosen to profile a .NET desktop application, called Mandelbrot and we want to obtain method and line-level timing results. We want our timings to be displayed in CPU time.
