Run dotMemory
You can launch dotMemory in several ways:
- Standalone
You run dotMemory as a standalone application installed in your operating system. We strongly recommend that you use JetBrains Toolbox to install and launch dotMemory.
Recommended if you do not have application's source code, or you do not want to start an IDE to perform profiling.
- Visual Studio
Recommended if you want to profile an existing project opened in Visual Studio. To run dotMemory from Visual Studio, open a project and select the ReSharper | Profile | Run Startup Project Memory Profiling... menu.
- The command-line tool
Recommended if you want to perform profiling on a remote server or automate the profiling process. For more information, refer to Use dotMemory Command-Line Profiler.
