View performance data for both your .NET code and database requests made by the .NET code.
Profile database requests your application makes to any SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL (or MariaDB), and PostgreSQL database.
This is ideal if you're using an ORM.
Read more about our database profiling support, on Simple-Talk.comView rich data about outbound HTTP requests made by your application, including request and response header information.
See all the information in the context of the .NET code which caused the request to run.
Get comprehensive performance information on your application's disk activity.
Jump straight to the slowest activity
The call tree in the .NET performance profiler shows you data for every method and identifies the most expensive methods, database queries, and web requests.
Drill down to slow lines of code with line-level timings
Profile C# or any other .NET code line by line, with precise timing data so you can find issues at a glance. Expensive lines of code are automatically highlighted for quick visual inspection.
Look at your code's database interaction*
Understand how your .NET code makes database queries and how those queries perform. ANTS Performance Profiler supports SQL Server and Oracle databases, whether local or remote.
*Only available in Pro edition
Capture outgoing web requests*
Look at your application's outgoing HTTP requests. Get data about the request and response headers, and see what .NET code caused them to run.
*Only available in Pro edition
Immediate feedback on application performance
Use the interactive timeline to check the CPU usage of your .NET or ASP.NET application and highlight problem areas to focus only on the data that matters.
Group methods by HTTP request*
Code and database activity are grouped by HTTP request, exposing performance problems on specific web pages.
*Only available in Pro edition
C# profiling for async code
Understand the performance of C#5 async code. View activity in the context of the code you wrote, and see how work being done asynchronously is related to the async method which caused it to run.
Decompile third-party code*
Find bottlenecks in third-party components and framework assemblies using integrated decompilation, powered by .NET Reflector.
*Only available in Pro edition
NEW: Profile SQL queries
Relate timings for your individual lines of .NET code right through to the SQL execution plans. Find out exactly why your SQL query is running slow.

* The Standard edition can only profile methods with source code (i.e. it will not profile Microsoft framework methods or third-party components). It uses PDB files to find out if you have the source code, so you will need the PDB files to see your performance data.
“Over the weekend, we rolled out a few speed improvements to the Stack Overflow engine.
First, we did a quick pass with ANTS Profiler and identified a few places where redundant or unnecessary database queries slipped into our code. We like to do this every few months on common pages as a sanity check.”
“I don't know how I ever developed enterprise software without the ANTS profilers.
They have saved me weeks of effort and paid for themselves many times over.”
“It's one thing to write software that compiles and "works". It's an entire other ball game to write software that performs and scales. ANTS Performance Profiler can help you achieve that goal in a very big way.
Redgate's ANTS Performance Profiler is easy to learn to use and the features are both robust and intuitive. I can confidently recommend this product to any professional developer who is interested is producing high-performance, scalable applications.”
“I have had a performance issue for a few days now and tried to pinpoint the cause using my brain and simple debugging tools. I made the purchase for ANTS and within 30 minutes had the issue identified and fixed!”
“Having been an ANTS Profiler user since the early versions of the product this current release makes my favorite toolset even more powerful.
The new SQL features that are parts of ANTS Performance Profiler 9 make diagnosing and tuning SQL performance within .NET applications a breeze!”
ASP.NET, Azure Web Roles, and Azure SQL Database provide a great way to build highly scalable, data-heavy applications, without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. In this walkthrough we'll take a look at profiling such an application.

Jean-Philippe Gouigoux, Microsoft Certified Professional Developer and Technology Specialist, discusses performance profiling for .NET.
This presentation is a must-see for anyone who is new to profiling. Jean-Philippe discusses the basics of profiling in developer-level detail, covers client and server-side profiling, and illustrates classic issues and patterns by demonstrating profiling on a real world application.
Before you load your valuable ASP.NET application into a rocket and aim for the cloud, let's do a sanity check. How do you handle bandwidth shortages that never let your app reach orbit? What happens if you need more speed to haul all these users up? If your uptime flames out, how can you easily plan for splashdown?
Moving an ASP.NET application to the cloud may not be as difficult as putting someone on the moon, but there are a lot of places where something can go wrong. In this session you'll learn how to handle the limitations of a purely virtual environment, measure performance and identify bottlenecks, and deal with the changing availability of resources
