I'm looking for a good code analyzing tool that can help me determine how long each method in a specified ASPX page is taking to execute. Specifically I need to find out why my page is taking so long to load.

A free tool (or trail one) would be best...

I tried to use the code analyzing tools that come with Visual Studio 2008 but have found them to be frustrating (it modified my web.config and screwed with my custom attributes) and useless (after excluding my web.config and letting it add it's own web.config file it didn't load all of the resources required to actually use my code and obviously failed on most of the tests... also this meant that I couldn't actually run my code at all so it couldn't tell me a thing about my problem).

Looking forward to your recommendations.

I always use the ANTS Profiler by Red Gate. I'm not sure whether this also works for ASP.NET, but it might be worthwhile to find that out :-)

Edit: The website says it also does ASP.NET ^^

I tried out the ANTs Profiler and it does a better job than the profiler that comes with Visual Studio (in so much that it loads, and runs, and does some stuff and gives me back results).

When I try viewing the results to take a look at the processing times it crashes though. I contacted RedGate (makers of ANTs Profiler) and they told me that "high latency is the root cause of all the problems you have seen". This isn't very helpful to me...I know there's high latency, that's what I'm trying to resolve!

Does anyone else have any recommendations?

Thanks
