Can I use the profiler to find out the handle leak?

[sailoruranu]

I use the profiler watch a window services. After I do a lot of action, I watch the handle's count up to 50,000 (never decrease) in task manager and the memory has decrease. But I don't know how to use the profiler to find out the problem.
Because the memory are release but the handles are not release.

Hello,

Thanks for your forum post. I don't know of a way to track down handle leaks specifically using ANTS Memory Profiler, as the primary focus is objects on the managed heap rather then Windows resources. Process Explorer from Microsoft may be a good choice to monitor your process' handle usage. They have written an article about tracing handle leaks here:

I hope this helps.
