Profiling in VS 2008

[CSharper]

How can I run profiler in VS 2008 professional edition? based on what
I read this available only in Team System and there is a command line
version available. Is that true?
Thanks.

Yes and yes.

The standalone profiler can be used to gather data - however, I
suspect you need Team System to do anything useful with the data (or
indeed, to get the exes).

If you don't currently have Team System, I believe that JetBrains also
have a highly rated profiler - dotTrace. Personally I've always
managed to get by with the VSTS profiler, largely because I have it
already via my MSDN subscription, where-as dotTrace would involve me
paying...

Beyond what Marc has posted, there are quite a few profilers out there. I
have used DotTrace and it is a nice profiler. If you want a more complete
list of things to try:

Thanks Marc, the first blog helped. I am downloading team system now.
