What is a good profiler for .NET 4.0? I'm willin开发者_运维技巧g to spend some money, but not too much (say up to £50)

I'm developing games for windows phone and xbox using XNA, which means that the projects are commercial. I mention it because I've seen several which are free for non commercial use.

Extra points for Visual studio integration.

Nb. I'm using Visual Studio Professional 2010

A tremendously under-advertised free profiler is the SharpDevelop Profiler.

It is really powerful, and supports the tremendously undocumented PSQL (Profiler SQL as they call it). For example, I can filter all the functions I am interested in by entering this in to the query bar:

for f in Functions where f.Name.Contains("Foo") select f

The EQATEC Profiler profiles just about everything .NET, including what you need:

• Full .NET 2.0 and above
• Windows Phone 7, both Silverlight and XNA apps
• Silverlight 2.0 and above
• NET CF 2.0 and above (WinCE, Windows Mobile)
• Xbox XNA (lacking integrated deployment to Xbox-device, though)

Long story short: the only thing it doesn't profile is .NET 1.x (full/netcf). No other profilers in the World works on this many .NET platforms. It's also known for being quite easy to use.

Slim Tune is a great profiler

Visual Studio 2010 has a pretty good builtin profiler (only available in the Premium and Ultimate editions though)

Another great profiler is dotTrace.

I only listed the profilers I know support .Net 4.0 right now, but do take a look at this older question about .Net profilers. Maybe some of them have recently added support for .Net 4.0 too. In any case, I don't think there are any new profilers out there, since it's a pretty complex topic.

Everybody wants a profiler, but this low-tech method works just fine.
