how to run Visual Studio profiler from a command prompt and where to find its command line options?

Question

hello

I'm trying to check the performance of my program

VS profiler seems like a fitting choice

it gives me "instrumentation failed with these options: /u 'file_name_here.exe' /excludesmallfuncs"

obviously I need to get rid of "/excludesmallfuncs" option but I would like to use a cmd for that

I'm wondering how VS profiler can be run from cmd

what's this tool's exe name?

and where can I find a list of cmd options it recognizes

thanks

Hi ColdBackup,

According to your description, I'd like to move this thread to "Visual Studio Performance Tools (Profiler) Forum" for better support, where more experts live.

Thanks for your understanding.
Best regards,

Hi ColdBackup,

Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.

If you are using the VS2010 Ultimate version, this performance tool is in this path “:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Team Tools\Performance Tools”.

About how to use it from the Command Line, if possible, please see:

Using the Profiling Tools From the Command-Line. Hope it could help.

Have a nice weekend,
