Profiling ASP.NET websites with EQATEC Profiler

Question

I'm searching for a free ASP.NET profiler, and I stumbled upon EQATEC Profiler for .NET, but I can't find any instructions on how to profile ASP.NET projects with it. Please post step-by-step instructions or a link with sufficient info.

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Professional and .NET 3.5.

Answer 1

From the EQATEC formus:

• ASP.NET?
• tracing asp.net web application
• Profiling web application

Answer 2

You may need to get a compiled version of your site (is there a dll for the site in the bin folder or just the dependencies?). The easiest way to do this is to publish it. (Just right hand click the site in Visual Studio). Then Pavel's answer will work just fine.

Answer 3

It looks like they have changed their user interface since Pavel's instructions were posted. Here are the instructions I wrote up for my team. They replace steps 4-8 in Pavel's post.

To profile an ASP.NET application using EQATEC, just select the application’s bin folder in the App Path setting:

Then, click the Build button at the bottom of the form:

Then, load JobTraQ and go to the page you want to profile. Go to the Run tab and click the Reset Counters button:

Then, do the action that you want to profile. When it’s done, click the Take Snapshot button:

When that is done, a snapshot report will appear in the bottom list. You can double-click on it to view it:
