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

OK, I found through Google the same page that Lars mentioned, and I believe it's a great explanation for people that don't quite know how memory works (like me).

My short conclusion was:

• Private Bytes = The Memory my process has requested to store data. Some of it may be paged to disk or not. This is the information I was looking for.

• Virtual Bytes = The Private Bytes, plus the space shared with other processes for loaded DLLs, etc.

• Working Set = The portion of ALL the memory of my process that has not been paged to disk. So the amount paged to disk should be (Virtual - Working Set).

Thanks all for your help!
