Controlling profiling via an API

OliverB

To help me focus on important code, I would like to turn profiling on and off with an API (from C#).  Is this available?  Google finds documentation for ANTS v3 (http://help.red-gate.com/help/antsprofiler3/0/en/topics/AP_UsingTheAPI.html).  I guess the other alternative is to put some Sleeps in my code, before and after the important area, so I can use the time selector.

Hi @OliverB,

The documentation you've found there is quite old (from ANTS Profiler 3!).

The documentation you want for the most recent  version is here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/amp10/working-with-profiling-results/using-the-snapshot-api

I hope that helps!

Kind regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thank you for your response.  The document you have referred me to is for the memory profiler, whereas I am using the performance profiler.  Is there an API for that?

Regards,

There's a command line which is perhaps confusingly referred to as an API: https://documentation.red-gate.com/app10/setting-up-and-running-a-profiling-session/profiling-from-the-command-line-api.
