ANTS Profiler™
Latest version: 4
.NET code and memory profiler
- Zero in on performance bottlenecks fast, thanks to the timeline
- Line-level timing, so you can drill down to the specific lines of code responsible for performance inefficiencies
- Fastest line-level profiler currently available to .NET developers
- Optimize memory usage and locate memory leaks (Pro version)
ANTS Profiler identifies performance bottlenecks in applications written in any of the languages available on the .NET Framework. To profile your application, use your application as normal within ANTS Profiler. During the performance profiling, ANTS Profiler records the frequency and time it takes for each line of code to be executed, as you are using your application. Detailed results will then reveal the slowest lines of code and methods, allowing you to quickly identify performance bottlenecks and optimize your .NET application accordingly.

Zero in on problem code: click and drag any region of activity on the timeline, and you will, almost instantaneously, be presented with the data for just that region; this is ideal if you want to narrow down the amount of information you get.
ANTS Profiler is available in two editions: Standard and Pro.

ANTS Profiler will profile any .NET 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 applications, including Windows applications, ASP.NET web applications, COM+ applications, and .NET Windows services.
Because ANTS Profiler is built with .NET 2.0, you will need to install .NET 2.0 in order to be able to use the tool.
