Codetrack is a free performance profiler and execution analyzer for .NET applications. It can be used to find out where performance bottlenecks are located within your code. In contrast to other (paid) profilers, Codetrack also gives you an incredibly detailed view of the execution flow of your code. This allows you to debug your application in a post mortem scenario: you can see which method calls which and also inspect their parameters and return values. You can even track instances of objects throughout the execution flow, so if a certain object instance is used as a method argument or return value you can see this.
