ANTS Performance Profiler enables you to profile the code of applications written in any of the languages available for the .NET Framework, including Visual Basic .NET, C#, and Managed C++. This is useful, for example, to identify inefficient areas of your application by recording the time spent in each line of your code or method as you run your application.

You can use ANTS Performance Profiler to profile .NET desktop applications, ASP.NET web applications hosted in Internet Information Services (IIS) or the ASP.NET Development Server, .NET Windows services, COM+ server applications, Silverlight 4 or later applications, and XBAPs. In addition, you can profile applications that host the .NET Runtime, for example Visual Studio .NET plug-ins.

For more information, see the ANTS Performance Profiler product page.

For information about new features, see What's new in version 7.4.
