Are there Tools to detect Memory and Resource Leaks in Compact Framework applications?

[Roberto Rocco]

Hello all,

Does anybody know of a tool to detect Memory and Resource Leaks in Compact
Framework applications?
We're currently developing under Visual Studio 2003 using C# and targeting
both Windows CE and Pocket PC devices.

Many thanks for every hint.

Best regards,

Roberto Rocco.

Not really. See links to perf counters etc from here:

Also note that if you can run your application on the desktop and use the
tools available for the full framework. Memory allocation patterns etc will
be the same so you can identify bugs in your code (but it will be running
against a different framework of course so you cannot identify bugs with
it).
for porting your CF code to full framework see this:
