Collecting Application Statistics for Stand-Alone Applications by Using the Profiler Command Line

  • Article

This section describes the procedures and options for collecting performance statistics for a client (stand-alone) application by using the sampling method from the command line.

Note

Enhanced security features in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 required significant changes in the way the Visual Studio profiler collects data on these platforms. Windows Store apps also require new collection techniques. See Profiling Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 applications.
