Patent number: 9104794Abstract: Disclosed is a method allowing the automatic discovery of application component dependencies by tracing application calls to dependant resources. The call tracing is embedded dynamically in an application at runtime using Common Intermediate Language (“CIL”) code instrumentation at compile time or runtime. Such a method reads an instrumentation configuration file to determine an address extraction code portion that is to be instrumented to an application method code, locates the CIL method body for the application method that is to be instrumented, instruments the application method by inserting the address extraction code portion into the appropriate .NET Application or .NET library at either compile time or at run time, extracts the address of one or more external service providers from the designated .Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2009Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Alex Zakonov, Victor Mushkatin

Patent number: 8839041Abstract: Disclosed is a method for adding performance counters to an application after compilation of the application to Common Intermediate Language code without a requirement for code changes to the original application code or application recompilation from the development side. With regard to a further aspect of a particularly preferred embodiment, the invention may provide a method for adding the performance counters by declarative instrumentation of an application at runtime or compile time, without the need for an application developer to hardcode instrumentation logic into the application. An instrumentation configuration file provides declarative definition for performance counters that are to be added to a particular application, and particularly includes a complete list of performance counters that need to be added and settings for each performance counter.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2013Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alex Zakonov, Victor Mushkatin
