Hi,

Is there any way to check memory allocations? I am losing memory and can
find no way of tracking down why, it may be an outstanding reference but I
can't see it.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
 
Is that a no then? I could really do with some help with this.

Thanks
 
It looks like you are on the right track. The article "Developing Well
Performing .NET Compact Framework Applications" that you referred to is a
great reference. You mentioned Performance counter, but be sure to look at
the Performance statistics as well. You basically set a registry value and
run your application. An MSCOREE.stat file will then be created on the
device with system stats.

The article also comes with a sample application that can assist with
setting the registry value and reading the mscoree.stat file.

I will be discussing this in an upcoming MSDN Webcast titled "Tips, Tricks,
Tools and Best Practices for the .NET Compact Framework Developer" on
September 8th.

Thanks Daniel,

I have been using a combination of GC.Collect, GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers
and GC.GetTotalMemory as a way to log mem usage during my debugging.

I found the OpenNETCF.Desktop.Communication namespace after a bit of
searching on the web, must be a fairly new introduction as it isn't in the
version I have.
 
It's actually been around forever, but it's not part of the SDF since it's a
desktop namespace rather than a device namespace.
