How to: Choose Collection Methods

The Visual Studio Team System Developer Edition Profiling Tools support two methods of collecting performance data: sampling and instrumentation. You can use the performance session Method property to specify the most appropriate collection method for your application. If you are using command-line tools, see Using the Profiling Tools From the Command-Line section of the documentation for more information.

To select a collection method using the Performance Wizard:

  • On the second page of the wizard, select Sampling or Instrumentation.

To select a collection method using Performance Explorer

  1. On the Performance Explorer toolbar, click the arrow next to the Method drop-down list.

    Two options will appear: Sampling and Instrumentation.
