Plain List

Last modified: 26 May 2024

The Plain List view shows all functions reachable in the current tab.

The view consists of two lists. The first one contains all functions from the call stack. The second list shows functions called by the function selected in the first list (one level deep).

The lists contain the following columns:

When you open a snapshot in the Plain List view, you can:

  • Look through the list of all functions called in your application during the profiling process.

  • Sort functions by Function Name, Time, Ave Time, Own Time and Calls. To do that, click the corresponding column name. By default, functions are sorted by time. That lets you quickly find functions that take the most time.

  • Group functions in different ways. You can group by class, namespace or assembly. That helps you focus on functions from a certain part of your application. Moreover, dotTrace calculates time, own time and number of calls for each grouping element, that helps you find out the impact of the particular class or module on application performance.

  • Choose whether to show or hide system functions.

  • Collapse or extend callees for a particular function, i.e. show all call stacks starting with the selected function. This gives a summary of function execution.

The example below shows a function before and after collapsing callees.
