Object memory allocation

Is there any tool that I could use to examine what objects are taking
memory on the heap? I'm running into problems discovering which of my
objects are not garbage collected and why.

I think a Heap Analysis Tool would help.
 
The first step is to download the Process Explorer from Sysinternals.com
(now purchased by Microsoft) and make sure the gc is the problem. If you
open up the process you are running and check the .NET tab, you can see what
memory is on each heap. If you are not getting much Gen2, you are probably
fine in not collecting.

I do not know of a Heap Explorer, but if you find one, let me know. That
would be a nice tool.
