Hashtable memory usage

[redrag]

Hi all,

Apologies if a similar question has been asked.
I'm trying to find out how much memory a hashtable is using at a
particular time in my application.
I am using the hashtable for caching and I have two ways of caching, I
need to find out which way is using less memory. Any help greatly
appreciated.

Thanks

Hello there Gerard,

I ran into a similar situation (and it involved hashtables as well) -
and the best solution to this problem is to download and use a CLR
profiler. I'm no big expert myself, but the tool was a total breeze,
and it helped me decide which path to choose when it came to data
structures.

Here is a link about the CLR profiler that will help you out:
