I have an ASP.NET application that is consistently using 75% – 100% of the CPU on a production server. How can I profile the application to figure out what part of the code is using up the most CPU? I have looked at a couple of different tools (Xte Profiler, EQATEC, dotTrace), but they all seem to want you to load and run the application within their tool. It seems to me that they want you to load up the application in their tool and run tests locally (not in production). I want to profile the application while it is running in production with people hitting it to see what is actually going on. Is this possible?

I am a newbie to application profiling so forgive me if I have missed something obvious or am not thinking about this correctly.

Thanks,
Corey

    Your best bet is to profile your code on your own machine to identify where it is spending time.
