So, Rico beat me to the punch: http://blogs.msdn.com/ricom/archive/2006/08/03/688019.aspx As we have seen in the previous entry it is nice that the VSTS Profiler team has provided a tool which converts their .VSP files into something which is more easily...

I have spent the last couple years investigating the performance of various parts of the CLR and managed code, in that time I have learned that a profiler is an invaluable tool. There are quite a few profilers available including: CLR Profiler, Intel...

Other companies have much talked about 20% time... That sounds great to me! Here at Microsoft (at least in my group) we do too, kinda. I find that every one of my peers has some interesting project that they're working on outside of their normal work...

I just found out that VSTS has a free 180-day trial edition. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/trial/ This is AWESOME because VSTS has a great profiler included in the package!
