## Using BenchmarkDotnet for Xamarin.Forms in a Console app

This is likely the simplest option. Setup [BenchmarkDotNet][getting-started] as you would for a normal .NET console app.

This is what I normally do:

```csharp

static void Main(string[] args)

{

    var config = default (IConfig);

#if DEBUG

    // If you want to debug your benchmarks, you need this

    // When taking final measurements, use a Release build.

    config = new DebugInProcessConfig ();

#endif

    BenchmarkSwitcher.FromAssembly (typeof (Program).Assembly).Run (args, config);

}

```

If you want to use Xamarin.Forms on desktop, use my [Xamarin.Forms.Mocks][mocks] mocking library.

This will allow you to benchmark Xamarin.Forms.Core and Xamarin.Forms.Xaml independent of any platform-specific code.

## Using BenchmarkDotNet in your Xamarin.Android/iOS project

If trying to get this working in a mobile application project, a couple of notes:

* Run benchmarks with `Release` builds

* Disable the linker

Otherwise, the bulk of the work is going to be making a simple UI for choosing benchmarks and running them.

Check out [BenchmarkDotNet's samples][bdn] for details.
