I've been going through a rich client application written in .NET but I'm unable to find any common entry point that is relevant to my client's needs. As I've dealt mostly with Java applications previously, I have already tried utilizing the CPU dump to determine specific packages to select as active entry points but so far my efforts have not been successful. Is there any best practice for locating .NET rich client PurePath entry points? At the moment, I do not have access to the developer nor the code itself. Would appreciate any feedback available, thanks!

GUI Controls gives you OnClick, OnDoubleClick and Keypress events on Windows Forms. For others you can modify the existing Windows Forms sensor.
My suggestion would be to focus more on the business methods/transaction rather than the GUI Events, because there can be potential hundreds.
Thanks,
Rajesh

With the sensors placed and active, you can use the GUI controls dashlet.

Hi,
What kind of rich client is it? If it is Windows Forms or WPF, there are sensors you can place. They will give you entry points on certain events such as button clicks.
