Get GC Information in Silverlight

To demonstrate this I used the bing’s world leader search page and here is the url

http://www.bing.com/visualsearch?q=World+leaders&g=world_leaders&FORM=Z9GE74#

Steps to get the GC information are

1. Start a cmd or powershell  as admin , this required to collect ETW tracing
2. Browse the above mentioned webpage using IE
3. Issue the command “PerfMonitor.exe /process:4180 start” where 4180 is the internet explorer’s process id
4. Do the necessary actions
5. Then issue “PerfMonitor.exe stop”
6. The command to get the report “PerfMonitor.exe GCTime”. This will generate a report and open it in the browser

Perfmonitor is like xperf for managed code. This is non-intrusive and can collect some valuable information in production. This is an xcopy tool and does not need an install.
