No reply -- does this just work for everyone else but me?
Aah, interesting: the memory profiler works, but not the performance profiler.
Note that I have to use the "launch ANTS x Profiler" from the visual studio menu; the "profile performance" and "profile memory" menu items are always disabled for the solution containing my outlook add-in. I'm using the trial version, and it was the same when I was usability testing with version 4.x. / comments

This post says that it should work, but the method described doesn't work for me. http://www.red-gate.com/MessageBoard/vi ... php?t=6354
The profiler just keeps saying in the status bar "Launching Outlook.exe". I tried with all 4 profiling methods, and it's always the same result. / comments

Profiling an outlook add-in
Hi,
Is there a way to profile an Outlook 2007 Add-in (the add-in itself is written in .net)?
If I choose the application type as ".net executable", then no data gets collected. I don't really see a...

When I first run VS 2008 after installing the profiler, I could see ANTS 4 in the menu bar but the first 3 menu items were disabled, I didn’t know why. So I had to run ANTS 4 using Launch ANTS 4 Performance Profiler. I assume the other menu items would profile whatever exe is specified by VS 2008's "default startup project"?
You are right, can you confirm you didn't have a project loaded at this point? If you did what type of project was it and how many projects were there in your solution?
There's a solution loaded, and the solution has 62 projects. 6 of those are executables, the rest are class libraries. All in C#. I've changed the start-up projects to different exe's or class libs, and the menu items are always disabled. I tried switching to simpler solution with one project and in that one the menu items are enabled. Switching back to the big solution, the menu items are disabled again.

I got an exception when changing some chart parameters - this never happens when running without the profiler:
I have had similar things happen to me when profiling, this can often be due to the profiler's overhead slowing something down a bit which then exposes some sort of race condition. This looks like it is totally internal to Dundas which might make finding the exact cause difficult. Which version of the Dundas charts component are you using?

Beta 4 Feedback
It's my first time using Ants Profiler (any version). I've used vtune in the past, mostly for C++.
I really like the UI in this product. The timeline really is a good idea. I felt like I could easi...
