    I like dotTrace[^], but I haven't compared it to ANTS since the 1.1 version.

      We are looking at purchasing a code profiler, particularly for finding performance bottlenecks. We were looking at ANTS profiler from RedGate. Any recommendations?

      Having just gone thru an exercise of looking at various free and trial profilers, ANTS I still think is the best. Another one that's free is IJW Profiler, but the UI is a bit 'weird' (you will see what I mean :p).

        We use ANTS for performance and .NET Memory Profiler from scitech for memory Im pretty happy with them both, though ants is a bit stingy on the upgrade path Tim

              I just used ANTS, and I'm satisfied with it. I like the feature that lets you enter just the names of the methods you want to profile. One thing it didn't catch was disk-access time, which was a significant portion of the total time used. It focused entirely on CPU time, and didn't show much CPU time being taken by the file-saving routines. But when I compressed the output before writing, it increased the application's speed significantly.

                I'll 3.5 it because we're just starting profiling with it this week. I may increase or decrease my "me too" vote depending on how it performs and what sort of mood I'm in later.

                cheers, Chris Maunder

                  ANTS is good. We've had occassional bugs with it, but nothing the Red Gate guys couldn't solve. Plus they advertise on CP, all the more reason to go with them. :)

                    I've done a deep research on code profiler tools a couple of months ago in order to select one for our development team. I had some experience with RedGate's Ants Profiler within the past. After comparing several profiling tools, my conclusion was (and still is) that RedGate's Ants Profiler rulez. Gr. Mario

                      I'm also looking but for a product to do profiling and memory leak detection for unmanaged code. Used VTune in the past and sort of leaning this way (for the profiler). Any other recommended products for strictly unmanaged bits? Thanks
