User Experience is hugely important, but if your app is slow then everything degrades, including UX. In this episode, John talks to the Silverlight team's Mike Cook who shares several techniques that help tune Silverlight applications. With performance, it's all about knowing what tools to use and how to use them. Mike covers these topics and focuses on: CPU Profiling in Visual Studio 2010 Memory Analysiso VMMap - 30,000 ft view of app memoryo WinDbg + SOS Debug Extension - Managed memory analysiso XPerf Heap Instrumentation - Native memory analysis You can find all of the links for the tools and information on how to use them in the relevant links listed below.

Are we able to profile those using Visual Studio 2010?

  • What is the path to the full executable?
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe
  • Command line arguements: 
    • 3800347859.testapp /debug
