C# runtime application Diagnostics

I am developing a c# GUI and was wondering if there were any (preferably free) runtime diagnostic programs available.

What Im looking for is a way to monitor user interactions with my GUI and what functions are called when. Preferably I do not want to add stacks of debug code as this has the potential to change the behaviour of the bug I am looking for.

Currently Im using Spy++ but am finding it a little heavy going as Im kinda new to this and its generating stacks of data.

I recommend ANTS profiler.

There is a trial available, first two weeks free.

In addition to ANTS profiler have a look at JetBrain's dotTrace

EQATEC profiler is pretty simple to use. Free too. Started life targetting Compact Framework but since 2.00 is now geared more towards Desktop too.

From first impressions, this seems to be a nice compact profiler. They also produce a free Tracer program (http://www.eqatec.com/tools/) that has already proved invaluable! Thanks for the pointer.
