Resolving an application hang-up

The General properties window contains several tabs for you to optimize the tracing output. For example, the Filter tab incorporates the Include and Exclude options. With these you can exclude or include namespaces and functions either to reduce unnecessary data or to get the most crucial information when profiling. The button will help you to browse easily through the functions you are looking for by using the Reflection Browser. In this PaintingTest profiling example, we will use the default filter: Exlusion of System and Exception calls.

"Exclude Second Level .NET Runtime Calls" will provide only the first call to system and the global information of every subsequent system call.
