Timing Code

[Jetski5822]

Hi all, i was wondering if its possible to 'time' every single line of code then output the the results as in a profiler i.e.

Time Line of code
22ms If... etc;
32ms i++;
.... ....

i know you can time a loop or whatever through the Start -> do loop -> stop proceedure i.e

Start timer
Do....
....
...
Stop timer

etc

But im looking for a method to time each and every line of code in a program, either at compile time or at run time.

hope someone has an idea on how to do this, as i am looking for a decent code exampe to start my project, as im not entirely sure where to start.

I dont mind if the results are in C# or VB.net

thanks all for your help

Nick

I don't know something that do it for each line. I don't think it is possible because your code is changed by the clr to be optimized.
But, if you want to do it for each function (make you functions short), I can recommend on a tool that by adding a attribute to the function, it traces the time of the function.
It works by running a function before and after your function is executed, where you can put some code.

There is nprof, a free profiling tool, available at

I haven't used it, but it looks nice.

There are a couple of commercial products available, as well.
