I was with you until this last part... where are the settings created ? Is it an XML file somewhere ?
( the UI designers and documenters would commit GBH if I added a button at this stage [image] )
I don't know what a GBH is, but it sounds pretty severe, so please don't let them do it :-) Anyway, I think a "Save" function that saves the entire solution at once is a good approach, as you said.
If we supported one testing mechanism ( and we use nunit extensively within Red Gate) we'd clutter up the wizard even further and GBH would be committed upon me once more.
No no, what I meant was, support it as dotTrace supports it. With dotTrace, when I'm looking at code in the VS IDE, I see little buttons on the left margin next to each method which has the [Test] attribute. The buttons, when clicked, show a popup menu: "Debug Test" and "Profile Test". When I click "Profile Test", dotTrace launches NUnit for me, and begins profiling the method, without going through wizards or configuration setups or anything like that. I do like this feature a lot.
Other than that I hope it's working well for you. We do after all allow line-level timings
Is there a way to switch them into a percentage view ? As in, "your program spends 50% of its time in this line", vs., "Your program has spent this many milliseconds in this line". / comments

A few usability issues
I'm primarily evaluation the ANTS profiler as an alternative to dotTrace; hence, my comments are bit dotTrace-centric.* Whenever I start a new profiler project, ANTS displays a wizard that lets me ...
