Hi,

Is there any way to check memory allocations? I am losing memory and can
find no way of tracking down why, it may be an outstanding reference but I
can't see it.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
 
It looks like you are on the right track. The article "Developing Well
Performing .NET Compact Framework Applications" that you referred to is a
great reference. You mentioned Performance counter, but be sure to look at
the Performance statistics as well. You basically set a registry value and
run your application. An MSCOREE.stat file will then be created on the
device with system stats.

The article also comes with a sample application that can assist with
setting the registry value and reading the mscoree.stat file.

I will be discussing this in an upcoming MSDN Webcast titled "Tips, Tricks,
Tools and Best Practices for the .NET Compact Framework Developer" on
September 8th.

Thanks Daniel,

I have been using a combination of GC.Collect, GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers
and GC.GetTotalMemory as a way to log mem usage during my debugging.

I found the OpenNETCF.Desktop.Communication namespace after a bit of
searching on the web, must be a fairly new introduction as it isn't in the
version I have.
 
It's actually been around forever, but it's not part of the SDF since it's a
desktop namespace rather than a device namespace.
