The nprof 0.8 alpha release is now available. Changes in this version are:

• Basic ASP.NET profiling - note: ASP.NET must be running as SYSTEM!
• Profile run message display
• Detection and graceful handling of failed profiling runs
• New icons for application and successful project run
• Drag-and-drop of executables to the project tree (Josh)

To profile your ASP.NET application:

1. Ensure that ASP.NET is configured to run as the SYSTEM account in machine.config
2. Create a new project, select ASP.NET as the project type
3. Select “Start project run” from the project menu
4. Load your site’s page from a browser
5. Ensure that the profiler has connected to aspnet_wp.exe in the messages list
6. Perform your tasks to profile
7. Click the “Stop Run” button in nprof
