Profiling .NET Application

I have seen people ask this before, and I think I have as well. The question
is: specifically, what third-party tools or built-in .NET features exist for
profiling .NET applications?

The answers I have seen before seem to refer generally to the existence of
such tools, but do not mention names.

The particular scenario is: I have a VB.NET application, which, under
certain circumstances causes the CPU activity to disappear off the scale.
What I am trying to find out is where is my code disappearing off to to
cause this to happen, and why.

Do people have any preferred tools / techniques for analysing this kind of
problem? I'd rather it didn't involve writing debug code everywhere.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Compuware has a free limited edition. It is worth to try if it fits your
needs:

Have you tried the Microsoft CLR Profiler (free)? There's a nifty "MSDN TV"
show on how to use it. <g>
