Post by wooty »

Hello,

This may sound like a dubm question :D but how do you profile a .NET service?

Many thanks in advance.

Currently it's not possible to profile Windows services. This feature will be implemented in the next version of profiler. As workaround please run .NET service as ordinary .NET application (I suppose that it's not difficult to do. Just another entry point).

Thanks guys - I've subscribed.

When the preview release becomes available, I'm going to need to test the profiler against our service range.

Will you let me have another evaluation licence when the time comes?

Kind regards

Paul

BTW : Great product and good, quick responses from you guys. Thanks very much.
