performance measurement automatization?

[Benjamin Spieler]

Hi there,

I would like to use the ANTS Performance Profiler to do certain performance measures on a Silverlight project on a regular basis. Is there any public / known API to control the profiler from a script to startup a certain application and take snapshots via scripting?

Many thanks in advance!!!

Best regards,

Benjamin

Yes.

For clarification- the Performance Profiler doesn't work on a 'snap-shot basis' (versions 1-3 used to, however and the Memory profiler does) - but this is incidental to giving you exactly what you want, I think.

So- I think the first place to start is with our command-line version of the profiler:

<Install_DIR>/Profile.exe

You can automate the running of this of course, and you can easily set it to run a profiling session that you have previously saved, using the GUI.

Please let me know if anything is not clear.

Do you want the same question answered for the Memory Profiler? (if so, please post in the other forum)
