I'm looking for a way to find bottleneck methods in a solution (lots of projects).
Lets say i have a HUGE program (1000s of methods) and i want to improve performance by finding methods that are called a lot (actually used at runtime), and optimize them.
I need this for a complex problem that's written in C++, C#, CLI/C++. (I can compile it all in debug and have the .pdb files)
So, I'm looking for some kind of analyzer that will tell me how much cpu time each method is using.
What tool/addon/feature can I use in Visual Studio to get that information ?
I want to be able to run the program for a few minutes, and then analyze the method's cpu usage. Or even better - amount of cpu / number of calls.
Would be even better if I could sort by namespace or dll/package/project.

Open the Performance Profiler by choosing Debug > Performance Profiler (or Alt + F2). For more information on using the CPU Usage or Memory usage tool in the Performance Profiler vs. the debugger-integrated tools, see Run profiling tools with or without the debugger.
Profiling and diagnostics tools help you diagnose memory and CPU usage and other application-level issues. With these tools, you can accumulate performance data while you run your application.
To bring up the window again, click Debug > Windows > Show Diagnostic Tools. You can choose whether to see CPU Usage, Memory Usage, or both, with the Select Tools setting on the toolbar. If you are running Visual Studio Enterprise, you can also enable or disable IntelliTrace in Tools > Options > IntelliTrace.
The more expensive Visual Studio versions should provide a Profiler builtin: see this thread.
However there are more methods to profile, this topic has been covered a lot of times on stackoverflow, here for example.

Following one of Christian Goltz links, I've found a program that might do what I want, it profiles both managed and unmanaged code:
