Process View

The Process view displays profiling data for the processes and threads that were executed during the profiling run.

Processes are listed by name. Threads are listed as children of the process that created them. Threads are named by the function that started the thread or by the label [ntdll.dll] if no symbols are available..

To add or remove columns, right-click in the view, and then select Add/Remove Columns. Additionally, you can sort the data by clicking a column name. For more information, see How to: Customize Profiling Tools Report Views.

The columns of the Process view are the same for data generated with the sampling and instrumentation methods, and for data that includes .NET memory data.
