Memory usage of another application.

tc
Hi, does anyone how how I might check on the memory usage of a running
application? I want to do this externally to the 'actual' application that
I've written, so a small stand alone app that can keep a check on another?

Basically the application in question hangs after a week or so of continual
use and I need to prove if it my application hogging memory or something
else.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

In PE, you right click the line for the running process, and you go to
Properties. PE will show you want you need to know. It have hooks into a
..Net Solution as well to show more about a .Net solution.

Would a Python process consume more memory on a PC with lots of memory? For example, say I have the same Python script running on two WinXP computers that both have Python 2.4.0. One computer has 256 MB of Ram while the other has 2 GB of Ram. On the machine with less Ram, the process takes about 1 MB of Ram. On the machine with more Ram, it uses 9 MB of Ram. Is this normal and expected behavior?

We have a VERY simple .NET C# Form Application, that has about a 23MB Memory Footprint. It starts a window runs a process and does a regular expression. I have done a GC.Collect to make sure that, no memory is lying around. GC reports only 84k of allocations. Starting 5-10 of this apps is going to start taking a considerable amount of memory. Is there a way to reduce this? Tom

Hello, I'm exploring why one of my C# .NET apps has "high" memory usage, and whether I can reduce the memory usage. I have an app that wakes up and processes text files into a database periodically. What happens, is that the app reads the contents of a text file line by line into an ArrayList. Each element of the ArrayList is a string representing a record from the file. The ArrayList is then processed, and the arraylist goes out of...

How come .Net applications use so much memory? Every application I compile uses at least 10 MB of memory, even the ones consisting of only a form and nothing else. If I minimize them though the memory usage drops to a couple hundred KB. Why? Is there anything I should to to prevent this? I have compiled in release and deactivated all forms of debugging, I think! Thanks, Philip

Example: After about 5 hours with a concurrent user base of about 150 users the application raises the aspnet_wp memory usage by almost 500MB. If our server guys modify the web.config this data is released and the workerprocess goes back to a...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
