This article describes how to save and export performance data files.

How to: Save performance data files as analyzed report files

You can save filtered or unfiltered views of profiling data (.vsp) files as analyzed report (.vsps) files. An analyzed report file can be viewed in the Report view window and is significantly smaller than the original .vsp file. However, you cannot apply a filter to the data of a .vsps file. You can create an analyzed report file from the Performance Explorer without opening the file in the integrated development environment (IDE), or you can open and filter the .vsp file and then save the results.

To save an analyzed performance report from the Performance Explorer

  1. Under Reports, right-click the profiling data file that you want to analyze and then click Save Analyzed.

  2. In the Save Analyzed Data dialog box, specify the directory and then type the file name.

  3. Click Save.

How to: Export profiling tools reports to an .xml or .csv file

You can export one or more report views from a .vsp file or a .vsps profiling data file as either a comma delimited or an XML file. You can filter the data in the Report view window before you export, or you can export report views of the entire data file from the Performance Explorer window.

You can also copy and paste selected rows from the Report view window as tab separated values.
