The Visual Studio Profiling Tools instrumentation method injects profiling code into a copy of a module. The code records each entry, exit, and function call of the functions in the module during a profiling run. The instrumentation method is useful for gathering detailed timing information about a section of your code and for understanding the impact of input and output operations on application performance.

You can specify the instrumentation method by using one of the following procedures:

  • On the first page of the Profiling Wizard, select Instrumentation.

  • On the Performance Explorer toolbar, in the Method list, click Instrumentation.

  • On the General page of the properties dialog box for the performance session, select Instrumentation.

Common tasks

You can specify additional options in the Performance SessionProperty Pages dialog box of the performance session. To open this dialog box:

  • In Performance Explorer, right-click the performance session name, and then click Properties.

    The tasks in the following table describe options that you can specify in the Performance SessionProperty Pages dialog box when you profile by using the instrumentation method.
