ANTS Performance Profiler 7

Setting file IO and child process profiling in high DPI modes

In high DPI environments, parts of ANTS Performance Profiler's Application Settings dialog may be hidden. Above 120% DPI, the selection buttons for File I/O and child process profiling may not be shown.

This bug will be resolved in a future version of ANTS Performance Profiler. Meanwhile, to turn on these settings manually, edit the ANTS Performance Profiler Project Settings configuration file as follows:

  1. In C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Red Gate\ANTS Performance Profiler 7, open the APP7_LastProjectSettings.xmlfile in an editing program (e.g. Notepad).
  2. Locate the setting you want to activate, and set its System.Boolean value to True:
    • To profile file I/O, replace

      <Property Name="RecordEtwEvents">

      <Object Type="System.Boolean">True</Object>

      </Property>

      with

      <Property Name="RecordEtwEvents">

      <Object Type="System.Boolean">False</Object>

      </Property>

    • To profile child processes, replace

      <Property Name="ProfileChildProcesses">

      <Object Type="System.Boolean">False</Object>

      </Property>

      with

      <Property Name="ProfileChildProcesses">

      <Object Type="System.Boolean">True</Object>

      </Property>

    The settings are saved until you edit them manually again.

  3. To deactivate either setting, replace the relevant System.Boolean value with False.
