Background Info

Download the official Microsoft release or the latest one on GitHub

DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE UI (But if you are take a look at CodeTrack)

Challenges

  • Run a memory profile on one of your own .NET apps (or download and interesting sample one, e.g. NerdDinner or similar)
    • If all else fails, follow this tutorial that includes the code for a simple 'sample app'
  • What other ETW Events can PerfView give you?
    • What do they tell you about what the .NET Runtime is doing when it runs your program?
    • Hint: See the "Events" tab in the .ETL file and then filter for 'DotNETRuntime'
  • If you're feeling brave, use your own app or this code and get a CPU Profile
