I repackaged nprof 0.9 to include the missing msvcr70.dll that didn’t make it in the first time. With any luck, this should fix the issues with loading DotNetLib that people were having.

If you use Firefox (you are using Firefox, right?) and you do anything even remotely related to web development - including maintaining a blog - you must download the Web Developer Toolbar.

This toolbar allows you to do everything from disable images to editing CSS live or even viewing response headers. 

If you’re editing CSS, it opens a sidebar with the current stylesheets loaded in separate tabs on the left.  As you type in each stylesheet, the styles are updated on the page to the right.  You can save and load stylesheets for future editing purposes.  It’s handy for checking out a site to see how they pulled off a CSS trick.

The nprof 0.9 alpha release is now available. This release will fix the problems with profiling .NET applications that spawn other .NET applications, as well as improving the GUI in a number of places.
