ANTS Performance Profiler™
.NET code profiler: Speed up the performance of your .NET applications

• Identify performance bottlenecks within minutes
• Optimize .NET application performance
• Drill down to slow lines of code with line-level timings
• Profile aspx, ASP.NET, C# code, and VB.NET applications
• Available as a standalone tool, or as part of the .NET Developer Bundle
Version 5.2 – December 17, 2009
ANTS Performance Profiler 5.2 is a bug fix release for ANTS Performance Profiler 5.x. Enhancements and fixes include:
• Profiling of IIS child processes now works, which enables easier Sharepoint profiling
• Fixed StackOverflowException when profiling Sharepoint
• Thread affinity no longer depends upon whether or not inlining is enabled
• Fixed performance issue with locating PDB files for source code view
• Fixed problem with logging configuration which caused some levels to be ignored
• No longer checks for updates on every start-up
This is a recommended upgrade for all users of ANTS Performance Profiler 5.x, particularly those working with Sharepoint.

ANTS Memory Profiler™: Profile the memory usage of your .NET application

Automatic memory management in .NET makes development a lot easier; however, it's still easy to introduce memory leaks into your application. For example, in a complex application, it's easy to forget to unregister event handlers, and these are notorious for holding on to objects which you don't need to keep in memory any more. This typically leads to an increase in memory usage, which can lead to your application exhibiting poor performance, or even running out of memory and crashing, if it remains unchecked and unresolved. This is where a memory profiler becomes necessary.

===============

Exception Hunter™
Until now, developers have had to wait until an error happened to find out which method throws which exceptions.
Exception Hunter is a static analysis tool that finds and reports the set of possible exceptions your functions might throw – before you even ship. With it, you can locate unhandled exceptions easily and quickly, down to the line of code that is throwing the exceptions. Once you have the results, you can decide which exceptions need to be handled (with some exception handling code) before you release your application into the wild.
