Process Memory Size - Different Counters

Question

I\'m trying to find out how much memory my own .Net server process is using (for monitoring and logging purposes).

I\'m using:

Process.GetCurrentProc         


        

Answer 1

If you want to know how much the GC uses try:

GC.GetTotalMemory(true)

If you want to know what your process uses from Windows (VM Size column in TaskManager) try:

Process.GetCurrentProcess().PrivateMemorySize64

If you want to know what your process has in RAM (as opposed to in the pagefile) (Mem Usage column in TaskManager) try:

Process.GetCurrentProcess().WorkingSet64

See here for more explanation on the different sorts of memory.
