Performance, Profiling and Tuning in .NET (Sacramento .NET User Group) July 31, 2007

Today’s software is more complex than ever. As application complexity increases, performance often degrades and more memory is consumed. This session focuses on the tools and methodologies used for profiling and tuning .Net applications. A common cause of many .Net performance problems are memory issues, so we’ll start with a detailed review of how the .Net Garbage Collector works, and move into memory profiling and tuning. Using the tools, we’ll discover where we’re forgetting to dispose objects, which objects are living too long, why we’re leaking memory, and why we’re often spending way too much time doing Garbage Collection. After finishing up on Memory Profiling and Tuning, we’ll move to performance profiling and tuning and go through common scenarios and examples for tracking down performance issues. The focus of this session will be on server applications, although all information is directly relevant to ASP.Net, Console, and WinForms applications.
