How to get the no of memory bytes allocated to the Array of type String?

The array data itself takes (IntPtr.Size * 101 * 11) bytes. The array
class probably contains a header taking up some additional bytes.

How can I differentiate following two statements in terms of no of bytes
allocated in memeory?

Dim arrDetail(100,10) As String

Dim arrDetail(100,10) As Integer

Enjoy Coding,

On a 32-bit platform where the size of an object reference is the same
as the size of an Integer, they take the same amount of memory. On a
64-bit platform the string array would consume twice as much memory.
