Categories:	Decompilation Object browsing - Assembly viewers Profiling - Debugging
Author:	Zsolt Petrény
Latest version:	0.25
Description:	DILE (Dotnet IL Editor) is a decompiler and an IL debugger. It allows managed application to be debugged without having the source code and it can help to understand what is going on in the background as even the .NET Framework assemblies can be debugged. Works both on x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) operating systems. Disassembling features: - displaying IL code - generics support - quick search by different categories (classes, methods, fields, tokens, etc.) - supports both 32 and 64-bit assemblies Debugger features: - both v1.1 and v2.0 applications can be debugged - allows debugging dynamic assemblies - attaching to process/detaching; starting new process to debug with arguments - stepping in/out/over on the IL level - setting instruction pointer; run to cursor - debuggee can be stopped on specific events (e.g.: CreateThread, LoadAssembly) - MDA (Managed Debug Assistant) notifications - adding/removing/activating/deactivating breakpoints - "Object Viewer" to check the current value of an object's properties and fields or evaluate expressions, call methods - text displayer form to quickly view strings with or without escape characters as simple text or html - call stack; local variables/arguments; debug messages; debugging events; modules; threads; watch panel - filter on which exceptions to stop the debuggee - decimal or hexadecimal number display

Prof-It for C#

  Home Page

Categories:	Code coverage Profiling - Debugging
Author:	Klaus Lehner
Latest version:	1.01
Description:	Standalone profiler for C# that measures execution frequencies for each statement while keeping the instrumentation of the source code to a minimum. A strategy for finding basic blocks, incrementing their counters and calculating counters from others makes Prof-It faster than other profilers, that can collect execution frequencies for each line of code.

Categories:	Profiling - Debugging
Latest version:	4.2
Description:	Visual Studio debug visualizer With property editing. During debugging sessions, debug visualizers allow developers to view objects and data using a customized interface. Visual Studio ships with several visualizers. Mole was designed to not only allow the developer to view objects or data, but to also allow the developer to drill into properties of those objects and then edit them. Features include: - view application UI elements in a TreeView control - view all properties, dependency properties and attached properties and non-public fields of any element or sub-element in the UI tree - allows unlimited drilling into objects and sub-objects - breadcrumb type navigation when drilling into child objects - when Mole finds an IEnumerable object, the data can be viewed in a DataGridView or in the properties grid - handles collections that contain multiple types of data - allows the developer to view non-public fields of all these same objects - tested on WPF, WCF, WF, WinForms and ASP.NET projects on Vista, XP Pro, x32, x64, VS2005 and VS2008, C# and VB.NET

.NET Memory Profiler

  Home Page

Categories:	Profiling - Debugging
Author:	SciTech Software
Latest version:	3.0
Description:	Tool for finding memory leaks and optimizing the memory usage in .NET programs. .NET Memory Profiler allows you to retrieve information about all instance allocations performed on the garbage collected heap (GC heap) and all instances that reside on the GC heap. The retrieved information is presented in real-time, both numerically and graphically. Features include: - can collect snapshots of the heap, which can optionally allow the presentation of field values of instances. It is also possible to compare two snapshots, which is a way of detecting memory leaks in a program. A snapshot provides information about: all classes, all instances of classes, the call stacks of the instance allocations, the path to a root from each instance. - a dispose tracker provides additional data about disposable instances. An API makes it possible to automatically detect memory leaks and control the profiler from within the profiled program. - a heap utilization tracker gives you information about how the GC heap generations are used by allocated instances. - the profiler also presents information about the native memory of the profiled process or any other process running on the computer. - unmanaged resources tracker. - possibility to attach to a running .NET process - 64-bit support - integration with Visual Studio.NET 2003 and Visual Studio 2005
