Visual Studio 2013 XSLT Profile

484 views Asked by At

I am using Visual Studio 2013 Premium and wanted to profile my XSLT, but the button is greyed out? I can debug it, do I need another version to profile it, Visual Studio Ultimate? Microsoft only has a documentation for 2010 and 2012 XSLT Profiler But I have the button in my environment:

The page on XSLT Profiler Walkthrough is a page for Visual Studio 2013, saying the following:

The XSLT Profiler is only available with the Microsoft Visual Studio Team System with Profiling Tools installed.

Which seems to me that you are out of luck. I happen to have Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and that has an available profiler, and I doubt much has changed, so if you can downgrade (and happen to have a Premium edition on the shelf):

Though a cheaper option might be to go for oXygen or Stylus Studio, both come with a profiling option, the latter claiming to be processor independent. I myself use oXygen a lot with our own Exselt XSLT 3.0 processor (Microsoft is still in the 1990s with support for XSLT 1.0 only), but that doesn't yet come with a profiler. However I believe Saxon, also XSLT 3.0, has a simple profiler tool.
