I have a project that runs on the开发者_Go百科 .NET Micro Framework (or NETMF) and am looking for a profiler. So far none of the ones I've tried will run on NETMF. Does anyone know of a profiler that will?

You have a tough problem, which is getting good measurement data in a very small footprint world.

My company, Semantic Designs provides profilers for a variety of languages including C# in a number of variations.

Our (C#) timing profilers can handle multiple threads of execution but require additional space per function call to track the data. It is unclear if you need this capability, and it is unclear that you have the room to capture it.

Our counting profilers require only enough space for track counts for each basic block (stored in an array) but some additional code space as instrumentation. Typically you need a counter slot for every 4-5 lines of code you have. This is likely your best bet.

You'll likely have to build some custom support machinery; in particular, in small embedded environments, our customers usually have to build a small bit of code that exports the count array content to a disk file. If you can achieve that, you can get profiling data.
