How to learn amount of memory used by the process at the current t

[Guest]

Hi,

I want to test .net class for memory leak presence. For this I want to know
how much memory is used before creating and after deleting class instance.
How can I do it? And could it help me find a memory leak in general? I know
about profilers, but I want to test a class automatically, may be using .net
profiler api. And there are also helpful GC functions like GC.GetTotalMemory,
GC.Collect, GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers. But I cann't think up something that
will work correct. Could you help me?

Thanks,
Alexey.

If the class does not use unmanaged resources, it has no memory leak. It
isn't possible.

There may be some profiling tools for COM+ apps that can help you if you are
using unmanaged resources.
