The IPs view for .NET memory allocation profiling data that was collected by using the sampling method lists the assembly instructions that allocated memory during the profiling run. Columns of the view also list the size and number of allocations.
Only exclusive values are listed.

| Module Path | The path of the module that contains the instruction. |
| Source File | The source file that contains the instruction. |
| Function Name | The name of the function. |
| Function Line Number | The line number of the start of this function in the source file. |
| Function Address | The starting address of the function. |
| Source Line Begin | The starting line number in the source file at which the allocation occurred. |
