Hello to the MiniProfiler community. I have been using MiniProfiler for several months to help improve the performance of [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) MVC applications which utilize the Entity Framework ORM.

In upgrading to the most current version of MiniProfiler, I discovered an issue with creating a ProfiledContext. I determined what was happening, and submitted a pull request, which Sam implemented. Sam also asked if I would support the EF code. I agreed. Just a warning that this is my first foray into OSS, so please be gentle when I screw up.

I promise to add a topic to the Knowledge Base within the next few days, discussing how best to use MiniProfiler in a project utilizing EF.

Thanks,  
Ben

Not to be nagging, but how is that KB article going?
