This is the first OFFICIAL public release of PerfView since July 2016 (a year and a half).
Version 2.0.2 has Goto Source working for .NET Core Framework code (SourceLink support).

This version of PerfView (unlike the prereleased versions) has been signed with the Microsoft private key.

The copy of PerfView in the Download Center is old and will eventually be removed. Currently there is documenation there that points you to this place.

To get the tool simply download the PerfView.exe executable and use it. I include the PDB files in case you need to debug something, but that is a rare case and you don't need to do that normally.

The PerfView64.exe is optional. It is a small wrapper that launches PerfView as a 64 bit application. If you are dealing with very large traces that cause 'out of memory' errors, this can be used to avoid the problem. Note that you need PerfView.exe to be present next to PerfView64.exe for it to work.

Like all versions of PerfView you can see the specific release notes from the past year by accessing the 'Help -> Release Notes' menu entry. Highlights of this release include

  • Support for .NET Core applications (including 'Goto Source' for .NET Core framework code
  • Support for Windows Containers (light weight virtual machines).
