dotTrace (performance profiling)
Overview
Section titled “Overview”- Pricing: dotTrace is not free (although there is a free trial); it’s part of dotUltimate.
- There are at least two versions of dotTrace: the standalone version and the one bundled into Rider. The standalone version seems worlds better than the bundled one.
Usage basics
Section titled “Usage basics”- Launch the standalone version

- Start recording (probably timeline or sampling) and take snapshots as you would through Rider. This process is pretty cheap and straightforward, so just experiment.
- When you take a snapshot, it’ll open a new view. You probably want to check ”✅ User code” under “Subsystems”.
- It’s helpful to use the 🔍 icon to search for code you’re interested in:
