I heard about Microsoft's .NET CLR Profiler at TechEd and downloaded
it. It is capable of showing all kinds of stuff, but I can't say I
really understand what it's trying to show me. I'm reading as much as
I can about the profiling API and other profilers trying to get some
insight into what the graphs it can produce are saying, but so far I
don't think I've made too much progress.

Does anyone know of a document or book somewhere that could give me
some insight? Thanks.

Dave,

I'm not sure exactly what kind of information you're looking for, but if
you click on "All Programs->Microsoft .NET Framework SDK->Overview" and
then select "Tool Developer's Guide->Documentation->Profiling API" this
should provide you with documentation for the actual profiling COM
interfaces and their uses.

For general information concerning these APIs, this is a good document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/msdnmag/issues/01/12/hood
/toc.asp

Hope this helps.
Simon

There is an actual CLR Profiler which is a download from a couple of
these "make your .NET application faster" kind of white papers and
which was hyped at TechEd this year. It makes lots of colorful,
interesting looking graphs based on this profiling interface. There
is, however, no guide to tell you what the pretty graphs mean. I may
eventually be able to figure out what the graphs mean by learning this
API and reverse engineering the code, but I'd rather use my time
fixing my own application USING the profiler.

So, I'm trying to find what this profiler actually does. This page has
the profiler I mean:

Dave,

Sorry for the late reply.

The copy of the CLR profiler that you installed should have a document
ap.doc. If this does not provide adequate documentation for the product,
please let me know what areas are lacking and I can look into having it
updated.

Thanks,
Simon
