Real memory usage of the application.

[Sin Jeong-hun]

We can easily see the application's memory usage at the Task Manager.
Usually .NET Applications seem to consume a lot of memory. But I've
heard that this is so-called _working set_. Does this means a memory
space reserved for the application? In that case, how can I find out
the application's real memory usage? Is there any Task Manager-like
utilities that do this? I would also like to know get the information
programatically(C#). Thank you.

Attach to the process using performance monitor and watch that processes
private bytes.

Keep in mind that a managed code application might have a different memory
consumption signature than you might expect because of the way garbage
collection works, but this should et you close enough to what you need.
