Visual Studio 2013 Performance and Diagnostics for profiling

I am working in a desktop application and I would like to measure the performance of the file loading scalability when user opens up a file.

I am developing using Visual Studio 2013, so the obvious choice is to use the Performance and Diagnostics - Performance Wizard - Instrumentation to measure the time taken for file loading.

However, I found out that the profiler tool will launch the application and starts collecting data till I click on the stop profiling button. What I need is just the file loading part. Is there a way to start the profiling data collection just before user clicks on file open dialog ? and not from the beginning of the application ?

Thank you

Uncheck Launch profiling after wizard finishes and start profiling when you need.

If you uncheck "Launch profiling after wizard finishes" on the last page of the Performance Wizard, you will then have a session created in the Performance Explorer. You can then use "Actions -> Start with Profiling Paused" to launch the application without profiling. Then right before you click the file open dialog, click "Resume profiling" in the .vsp document window.
