I'd like to calculate the memory size that my data structure cost, but I
could not find any API that I could calculate the size of an object. Could
anyone give me a work around?
Thanks!

Bob,
Marshal.SizeOf return the size of the type when it is marshaled. In other
words the size of the unmanaged representation of the type. Type's size in
the managed environment doesn't make sense that's why there is no mathod or
instruction to find it.
The latter is not completely true.There is *sizeof* instruction in C#, which
however works only in usnafe mode, only with value types and AFAIK it
returns the managed size of the type. *sizeof* and Marshal.SizeOf may return
different values in some cases.

This seems to work. What are you having trouble with?
