Read somewhere that using TaskManager to monitor a .NET (version 1.0)
application's memory usage might not give the most accurat result. Is
this true? Would perfmon be a better application for such task? What
properties within perfmon would yield the most reliable indication of
memory usage? Maybe 'Private bytes' ?
 
Is '.Net CLR memory' the way to go or 'Process' and select process in
list on the right hand side ?

Appreciate any input.
 
Hello RedLars,

try these
Process/Virtual Bytes
Process/Private Bytes
.net CLR Memory/# Bytes in all Heaps
.net CLR Memory/% Time in GC
.net CLR Memory/Large Object Heap size
.net CLR Loading/Bytes in Loader Heap
.net CLR Loading/Current Assemblies

Thanks for your reply.

What is the definition of 'Private Bytes' ? (Does it cover both
managed and unmanged memory ?)
 
And another thing, any reason why .net CLR Memory performance object
is missing from perfmon on a computer? (Using WinXP + Sp2 and
installed .NET 1.0\1.1\2.0). The computer had .net CLR data\loading
and oracle something. My computer has about 12 .net clr <name>
options.
