Visual Studio
YourKit .NET Profiler has integration with Visual Studio 2017 - 2022.
Plugin installation
To enable integration, you should install the profiler plugin. Use Profile from within IDE... action on Welcome screen or in Tools menu, select Visual Studio and follow the instructions.
Profiling from Visual Studio
After the plugin is installed, the Profile action is added to the main toolbar. The action starts the current configuration with the profiler and opens profiler UI.
Navigation action
While profiling, you usually need to browse to the related source code to understand the root of a performance problem. When it is found and located, you edit the source code to fix it.
Use Tools | Open in IDE (F7) to open the underlying source code in the editor of your IDE - the best place to browse and edit code.
This navigation action always works on the current selection and is available in both CPU and memory views.
