Object Size in memory

[SStory]

How can I find the size of an object in memory?

Say a bitmap?

I took a bitmap and resized it and am storing in memory.
Would like to be able to see the amount of memory that object is taking.

How to???

Hi Shane
You might want to use the CLR profiler for that; it is a tool that
is meant to profile the memory usage of .net programs and their objects

So there is no SIZEOF like in C++? or anything similar to get memory size
internally?

Thanks,

Hi, SStory

See Marshal.SizeOf method.

Hi, SStory

See Marshal.SizeOf method.

Or 'Len' for some types. But be sure you read the docs for both of them.

 

[SStory]

doesn't seem to work for managed objects.
gave me an error when I tried that.

Try this code
int i = 0;

Console.WriteLine("Int size: {0}", Marshal.SizeOf(i.GetType()));

It tells me that it can't do it. Something about no intellegent unmanaged
size can be calculated---this is a paraphrase of course.
