Memory profiler on VSTO Word AddIn

jassim

I was looking for a way to do memory profiling on VSTO Word AddIn. How we can do that ?
I am using Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition

Hello Jassim

Please can you try targeting the executable of the office application that's hosting your addin?

E.G "winword.exe" rather than your add-in DLL

When you try and start profiling, ANTS Profiler may warn you that you haven't selected a .NET executable, but accept this warning and carry on anyway. 

As the application starts up, watch the status bar in ANTS Profiler - it should change from "Waiting for connection..." to "Profiling performance of...".

Thanks and kind regards,

Peter
