Visual Studio Profiler FAQ

Question

I am excited to announce the availability of the following FAQ paper which lists some of the questions frequently asked by the Visual Studio Profiler and Code Analysis and Code Metrics forum members. This paper has covered many parts from Visual Studio profiler to FxCop, etc. Although it’s far from complete, but this is the first attempt our forum support team has been trying to make to help development community members find the answers to their questions much easier and fast, and it’s always the top priority for our team to make the MSDN forum a good place for developers to ask questions, talk about technologies etc. With time goes on, this thread will be enhanced with more FAQs and content, so we really welcome and appreciate any feedback or suggestion on how to improve it.

Answer 1

I'd like to see a faq on how to profile WCF services that are NOT hosted on localhost. It seems nobody knows how to do this.

Answer 2

Why do birds start singing at 4:30 every morning? It's because of a Fixed C: Operation Mode Standard. I don't ask myself why all the birds sing at once or why just some of them do. I'm just happy to hear the ones that do, Must be a suppressed Message Attribute Code. Just think if they all sang at 1:36 am it would generate plain noise and 64% of people would miss the  instrumentation of the profiled application. Is'nt G_od studio support cool.
