Did you know that you can run dotTrace Performance from the command line? Why would you want to run it from the command line? Maybe you want to share the same profiling configuration across the team? Maybe you want to run it as part of your build process? Maybe you want to run dotTrace as part of a larger testing process with other command line tools? There are lots of reasons why you might want to run dotTrace Performance from the command line. Let's look at how we can do exactly this. Profiling from the command line is divided into two steps. First we create a configuration file that speci

You've got a thorny performance problem, but it only happens in your staging and production environments. For some reason, you just can't seem to reproduce it on your local machine. What's a developer to do? Fortunately dotTrace can profile a remote application and with dotTrace 5.2, it's easier than ever before. Let's walk through the steps of collecting a performance snapshot from a remote machine. Step 1: Copy the dotTrace Remote Agent to the remote server First we need some way for dotTrace to connect to the remote machine. This is done using the dotTrace Remote Agent, which ships with do

The ReSharper team here at JetBrains has added support for SharePoint and LightSwitch projects to ReSharper 7. Due to how these project types handle generated partial classes, previous versions of ReSharper displayed errors even though the project compiled successfully. By implementing support for these project types in ReSharper 7, ReSharper no longer displays spurious errors allowing developers to be more productive when using these project types. To see the improvements in action, let's look at a SharePoint project and a LightSwitch project using ReSharper 6.1 and ReSharper 7. Creating a S
