System.Drawing.Internal.GPStream - tons of memory used

  • Thread starter Thread starter Guest

Hi Dave,

Can you tell how do you profile your memory usage? Do you get a statistic
of your memory usage or do you use a profiler to get the call graph of the
memory allocation?

The normal diagnostic steps for memory issues are:
1. Use Task Manager and the System Monitor to confirm the memory leaks.
2. Use windbg in conjunction with the SOS extension to pinpoint where
managed memory is allocated in an application.
3. Use Allocation Profiler to show how managed memory has been allocated,
and also can be used to find object roots.

For details see the article below:
"Debugging Memory Problems"
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms954591.aspx

Specific, you may read "Diagnosing Memory Leaks with the Allocation
Profiler" section to understand how to get the call graph of the
allocations for these GPStream objects.

Thanks

Best regards,

Hi Dave,

Sorry for letting you wait. I am out of office yesterday.

It seems that dotTrace is a 3rd party tool and we have no experience over
it.

Can you try the standard steps in the link I provided you to use
"Allocation Profiler" to find out the call graph of these GPStream objects?
We normally do not support the 3rd party tools. Thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
