Why ANTS Memory Profiler?

Demonstration videos

Automatic memory management in .NET makes development a lot easier, but it's still easy to introduce memory leaks into your application. For example, forgetting to unregister event handlers can lead to significant chunks of memory being held on to unnecessarily, but spotting that this is happening can be very difficult.

Trying to understand memory problems without a suitable tool can take hours or days, if you're lucky enough to know a problem exists. This is time which would be better spent fixing the problem.

A tool every .NET developer should use

ANTS Memory Profiler makes memory profiling simple. With it, you can:

• Obtain clear, meaningful results, making it easier for you to interpret the information. Spend your time fixing problems instead of struggling to understand them.
• 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, in seconds rather than minutes.
• Quickly visualize the relationship between your objects – use the instance retention graph 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 reference each other.
• Go straight to the source of the problem - intelligent analysis highlights the most likely causes of issues, often saving hours of problem-hunting.
• Zero in fast on the causes of memory leaks – powerful filtering options allow you to cut through the noise, enabling you to quickly get to the root of even the most complex problems.

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.
