NGEN (native images) and ANTS Profiler

I would like to use ANTS Profiler to profile the function execution in normal mode (JITed) and then NGEN my dlls and profile the function execution then. Therefore, would like to see how my dlls perform with and without NGEN and see if performance will be improved w NGEN. Does ANTS profiler have an option to profiler NGEN images vs normal .net dlls (that will be JITed)...? I am aware that profilers usually have this issue since they need everything JIT-ed forcefully in order to insert profiling instrumentation code.

Let me know. We are trying to decide if ANTS will work for us.

    Hello,

    ANTS Profiler only instruments managed code (code that is JIT compiled) as you say, so my thinking is that it probably will not show any results for any code which is not going through the runtime.
