Setting file IO and child process profiling in high DPI modes

Date: 29/06/2012
Product: ANTS Performance Profiler

In high DPI environments, parts of ANTS Performance Profiler's Application Settings dialog may be hidden. Above 120% DPI, the selection buttons for File I/O and child process profiling may not be shown.

This bug will be resolved in a future version of ANTS Performance Profiler. Meanwhile, to turn on these settings manually, edit the ANTS Performance Profiler Project Settings configuration file as follows:

In C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Red Gate\ANTS Performance Profiler 7, open the APP7_LastProjectSettings.xml file in an editing program (e.g. Notepad).
Locate the setting you want to activate, and set its System.Boolean value to True:
- To profile file I/O, replace
  <Property Name="RecordEtwEvents">
  
  <Object Type="System.Boolean">True</Object>
  
  </Property>
  
  with
  
  <Property Name="RecordEtwEvents">
  
  <Object Type="System.Boolean">False</Object>
  
  </Property>
- To profile child processes, replace
  <Property Name="ProfileChildProcesses">
  
  <Object Type="System.Boolean">False</Object>
  
  </Property>
  
  with
  
  <Property Name="ProfileChildProcesses">
  
  <Object Type="System.Boolean">True</Object>
  
  </Property>
The settings are saved until you edit them manually again.
To deactivate either setting, replace the relevant System.Boolean value with False.
