Seeking advice on profiling managed C++ library

Can anyone offer advice on the best tools/methodologies for profiling a
large Managed C++ library? In a nutshell, I want to find out where the code
(which functions, or set of nested functions) is spending most of its time
so I can go optimize it. I went through this process about 8 years ago with
a 16 bit version of Visual C++, but now my library is a mix of managed and
unmanaged code and I am not sure where to start.

Thanks,
-Steve

The best way to go is to use a good profiler. Currently there are a number
