NEW! ANTS Memory Profiler™5:
Memory profiling made simple

Dreading profiling the memory usage of your .NET application? Fear no more. The new ANTS Memory Profiler 5 is out:

  • Locate memory leaks within minutes
  • Optimize high memory usage applications
  • Perform health checks on your code during your development cycle and before a release

Why is it easy to work with ANTS Memory Profiler 5?

  • Get results fast – With a footprint of less than 32 MB, the profiler can comfortably profile large, complex applications, with virtually no overhead. Take as many snapshots of the heap memory as you like, and in seconds rather than minutes.
  • Quickly visualize the relationship between your objects – Use the new object retention graph (right) to quickly see why your leaking objects are still being held in memory. You don't have to build a mental map to keep track of how objects link to each other.
  • Zero in fast on common causes of memory leaks – Powerful filtering options allow you to focus on common causes of memory leaks, enabling you to quickly get to the root of the problem.

So, if you're programming in C# or VB.NET, and you need to understand where your memory is going, give ANTS Memory Profiler a try. It takes five minutes to download, install, and start using the tool.

"I was trying to locate memory leaks in our WPF application. ANTS Memory Profiler just works. The performance and analysis capabilities are far superior to any of the other tools I have looked at and I find it very intuitive to use."Lau Bakman, Software Architect, Gladstone Health & Leisure, Denmark

Object Retention Graph

The object retention graph shows the chains of references from GC roots to your selected object. These chains prevent the garbage collector from collecting the object, and you use the graph to identify references which should not be there any longer (e.g. event handlers that have not been unregistered).
