[Nprof-developers] Goals for next release

[Matthew M. <ma...@ac...>]

These are my goals for the next nprof release (0.5).  It's mostly a 
maintenance/cleanup release.  If you've got anything you'd like to see, 
or you need me to do any work for you to try hacking on nprof, let me know!

 - NAnt build files (will make releasing much less painful)
 - Replacing the sorted list view with the Genghis version
 - Proper about box + license
 - Some cleanup work on the VS.NET add-in. 

For the release after that, here are some additional goals:

 - Basic ASP.NET profiling (I finally figured out how to do this! :))
 - Fix random bug where profiling results are corrupted while being sent 
back (need a reproducable test case!)
 - Ensuring all numbers reported are correct
 - Tests applications with multiple threads and multiple appdomains

[Nprof-developers] VS.NET add-in ideas

[Matthew M. <ma...@ac...>]

I've been thinking about how I can enhance the VS.NET add-in to be a bit 
more useful.  Since I don't have a VS integration partner license, I 
need to work around the limitations of only being an add-in (versus a 
full-fledged package).  I'd like to be able to host my nprof profile run 
windows as MDI documents, but this is only available to full pacakges 
(from what I can tell).

I believe that I might be able to hijack the webbrowser control (as the 
AnhkSVN add-in does) to display a webbrowser-hosted .NET control.  The 
other possibility is to determine how Microsoft manages to get its 
packages into Visual Studio without a VSIP key (note that all other 
packages have a string resource that contains their VSIP key!). 

This *might* be able to give me the functionality I'm looking for.   If 
anyone has any ideas, I'm open to suggestions.

Matt.

Re: [Nprof-developers] Help needed integrating NProf inside SharpDevelop

[Matthew M. <ma...@ac...>]

Hi Mike...  I've take a look at the source and the architecture in the 
latest version has changed a little.  Some older methods still exist 
within the code.  The object you'll want to start with is the project 
(ProjectInfo).

At this moment, the profiler form only supports being displayed after 
the run has been completed.  This will likely change in the future to 
make embedding easier.

Here are the approximate steps:

1.  Create a new project info, set its app name, argument and working 
directory.
2.  Create a profiler object and optionally call CheckSetup().
3.  Call CreateRun on the ProjectInfo object to retreive a new profiler run.
4.  Hook up your event handlers to the run's StateChanged event.  This 
event will tell you when the run completes.
5.  Call run.Start()
6.  In your run's StateChanged event handler, check for the completed state.
7.  When the run is complete, create a new ProfilerControl().
8.  Assing the run's ThreadInfoCollection to the ProfilerControl's 
ThreadInfoCollection

Let me know if you need anythink else... 

Matt.

[Nprof-developers] Re: UtilityLibrary

[Mike K. <mi...@ic...>]

Hi

Ok, I've seen that your are not using the toolbars from utility library 
(then the command bar lib makes no sense).
Sorting the list view and folder browser can be obtained from :

[Nprof-developers] Help needed integrating NProf inside SharpDevelop

[Mike K. <mi...@ic...>]

Hi

I try to integrate NProf into the next SharpDevelop version, I tried to 
use this code from the VSNetAddIn:

ProfilerForm pf = new ProfilerForm();
pf.Owner = null;
pf.Show();
pf.EnableAndStart();

It is exececuted before I start the executable with Process.Start. In 
the application when I'm starting nprof the
main screen of NProf pops up but is closed before the application which 
should be profiled has finished it's
execution.
It would be kind to help me with this issue.

Another apporach would be to let the nprof gui specify the assembly to 
profile with command line arguments.

Regards
Mike

[Nprof-developers] UtilityLibrary

[Mike K. <mi...@ic...>]

Hi

The license from the utility library changed to an open source 
'unfriendly' one. I recommend using the CommandBar
library (http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/) instead it is under BSD ...

Because the author is going commercial with this library 
(http://www.sharplibrary.com/).

Re: [Nprof-developers] nprof with VS 7.1

[Matthew M. <ma...@ac...>]

Hi Jerry.  Unfortunately, the VS.NET add-in is pretty simplistic at this 
point.  I haven't had a chance to test it with the latest alpha.  It 
also hasn't been tested with VS.NET 2003, but if you'd like to try it, 
you'll need to modify the .reg file to add 7.1 support.  In 
"RegisterVSNetAddin.reg", add a second block like the first one with 
"7.1" as the version.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\AddIns\NProf.Connect]
"CommandPreload"=dword:00000001
"Description"="nprof Profiler Integration"
"FriendlyName"="nprof Integration"
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003

Let me know how it goes.

Matt.

[Nprof-developers] nprof with VS 7.1

[Houston, J. <jho...@am...>]

I've been trying to get nprof 0.4a running with VS 7.1 (.NET 1.1) and so far
have had no luck.  I was hoping that it might work better than a commercial
profiler that our company bought.  (Which dies, and blames "invalid IUnknown
interface pointers" that work just fine outside the profiler.) 
 
I have an application in dire need of some profiling, and it's a little more
sublime than the usual .NET application.  Mine starts with an executable (a
test harness) that uses .NET Remoting to launch an executable whose process
hosts the DLL's for winforms and automation of Word via a PIA to create
documents with tables filled with data fetched from our database.  I don't
expect that COM interface between my app and Word to be quick, but I was
hoping I could improve it a bit, and knowing where the app spends most of
its time would sure help.
 
I tried the separate UI, but it appeared to kill off the process I was
running prematurely.  If it was designed for .NET 1.0, as I suspect at this
point, that's certainly understandable.  So I figured I'd give the VS addin
a try.
 
I did hack the RegisterVSNetAddIn.reg file to modify the registry entries
for VS 7.1, not 7.0, but that obviously isn't enough.  There must be
differences between the AddIns for those two versions that I haven't
accounted for.  The nprof addin shows up in the AddIn manager's listing, but
there's a startup error saying that it can't load the addin because it's not
registered.
 
Has anyone been using nprof successfully with .NET 1.1 and VS 7.1?  If so,
I'd sure like to learn the secret, because this looks like it might be a
very useful tool to have around.  And yes, I'd be interested in helping with
development.  I just don't know beans about VS addins, and never had a
reason to learn anything about them.

[Nprof-developers] NProf support got ASP.NET?

[Todd B. <bau...@ho...>]

Does NProf support profiling ASP.NET applications?  If so, how?  It's a 
great looking product.  I just need to use it to profile an ASP.NET 
application and I can't figure out a way to do it.
