I would like to know which are all the components, dll's and all other things being used to start a simple WPF application.
Also if there is any way by which we can find out the main reasons for delay in startup of WPF application?
I also want to trace the code for time consumption in my Visual Studio 2010.

DLLs… what DLLs? What to reference in your WPF application? Why this is a problem? If you can use Visual Studio, just create a new project from WPF Application template. It will create a skeleton application for you. Look at all the references (what you find will be about the minimum, but certain references are really not needed, such as System.Deployment and System.Data.*; you can remove references one by one to see which ones are redundant) and files of the project — you will learn what you need.

Delay in application startup? I never saw significant delay. Maybe you saw applications doing it wrong. :-) To trace time consumption, use the class System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.stopwatch.aspx[^] and the code sample at the end of this MSDN help page.

Solution 2

Try this : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/450039/how-to-programmatically-get-dll-dependencies[^]

The DependencyReporter code will give you a list of the DLL's used by your application.
