By default, the Visual Studio Profiling Tools sampling method collects profiling information every 10,000,000 processor cycles (approximately every one-hundredth of a second on a 1 GHz computer). The sampling method is useful for finding processor utilization issues and is the suggested method for starting most performance investigations.

Note

Enhanced security features in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 required significant changes in the way the Visual Studio profiler collects data on these platforms. UWP apps also require new collection techniques. See Performance Tools on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 applications.

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

  • On the first page of the Profiling Wizard, click CPU Sampling (recommended).
  • On the Performance Explorer toolbar, in the Method list, click Sampling.
  • On the General page of the properties dialog box for the performance session, click Sampling.

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 sampling method.
