How much time does CPU spend in each method?

[Vincent Vega]

Hi,

I'd like to run my WinForms application through a series of tests and
determine where I can optimize my code. Is there an easy way for a brother
to tell which methods were called most frequently, or more importantly,
which methods took the largest fraction of CPU time to execute? This might
help me narrow down my focus a bit.

The only thing I can come up with is to use the DateTime class to
measure the number of "ticks" spent in each method -- but applying this
approach across hundreds of methods is insane. It occurs to me that perhaps
Visual Studio has an automated way of doing this. Any ideas?

You're the man,

Vincent

You may want to consider the "Free" CLR profiler from Microsoft.

The CLR profiler only shows you memory allocations and garbage collections,
but it might prove useful to you.

Just to clarify - that DevPartner one (community edition) is also free.
