Session Settings

When a new profiling session is started, the settings for the session are retrieved either from the associated project or from the default settings if the session is not associated with a project. An active session keeps its own copy of the settings, so changing the project or default settings will not affect an active session.

• Default settings are edited using the Options dialog under the Tool menu. These settings are used for new sessions that are started without being associated with a profiler project.

• Project settings that apply to all sessions that are started using a project are edited by selecting the project node in the projects explorer and clicking the Project Property Pages command in the projects explorer or under the View menu.

• Settings for an active session can be viewed by selecting the profiler window and clicking the Session Property Pages command under the View menu.

The settings are viewed and edited using a property pages dialog. The dialog contains the following pages:

• Profiling Level
  (read-only for active sessions)

• Instance Tracking

• General
