If you google for clr-profiler, you'll get MS's CLR profiler. It's not the
best, but it is free.

The Microsoft one has a lot of pretty colors, but for simply finding in
which method most of the runtime is spent, I prefer nprof.

Uh, the MS CLR Profiler is a memory profiler, not a runtime profiler.
You'll need to run both kinds of profilers to properly optimize your
application. CompuWare (formerly NuMega) offers a free version of the
runtime profiler included in the DevPartner suite:

Hello all, I haven't been using profiler for a terribly long time, and I've come across something that I just can't figure out. I'm running MS Virtual PC to run a Win2K Server OS with SQL Server 2000 (sp3 i think). Whenever I start up SQL Profiler - even immediately after a bootup, if I try to pause, stop, or exit out of profiler, it hangs. The strange part is that it seems to keep on tracing even though it won't respond anymore. I...

I'm looking to profile my applications, anyone can recomment a good profiler? Not CLR Profiler, I'm trying to analyze my app for performance hot-spots. Something simple, functions run times and memory usage is all I want. Preferably free, as well.

Hi, All What's is the best .net profiler for Debug an application. I have to buy one but I don't know which one!! I tried some of them like Borland and AQTime. My big problem is, my application is a big application, and many times I have many EventHandlers associated to an object, then this object never is free from the memory. AQTime for .Net can tell me how many references of EventHandler the object

Using Enterprise Manager's toolbar - Tools / SQL Query Analyzer gives me: "The specified file was not found". Same thing happens for Tools / SQL Profiler. But the apps will start just fine if I launch them from the Start / All Programs / Microsoft SQL Server menu. Any idea how to fix this? I'd rather not setup links for them using the External Tools option. This is SQL 2000, not 2005.

Does anyone have an example of an application that can connect to a running process and capture Trace.WriteLine calls like in SQL Server Profiler? I know that we can inherit from a TraceListener class to write to files, databases, etc..., but I would really like to attach to running .NET processes and get the results without any logging and instead capture the real-time results when troubleshooting.

Can any-one recommend some good sites detailing how to code a simple memory profiler? How do they "look under the hood"? I built an uber simple service that tracks the process' memory but I need to "get inside" and look a bit deeper and I don't have a clue where to start ... a commercial memory profiler is not an option due the nature of the environment the application is deployed in ..

Using SQL Profiler: (Ref: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181091.aspx) Sometimes it’s very beneficial to use sql profiler.

I am using the CLR Profiler to investigate the memory efficiency of my .NET applications; however, I am puzzled as to the memory allocation size that the tool reports for my applications.
