Preview Source Code
dotTrace automatically locates the underlying source code for selected functions. To make the source code visible in dotTrace, let it know where .pdb files for your project are located, or specify path to the source code.
Note that in case you choose the Line-by-Line profiling type, Source View will show additional information about how many times a particular line of code was invoked. Learn more in Source View and Line-by-Line Profiling.
