Memory leak in .Net

Question

I want to know if there really is a memory leak. My Scenaio looks like:

• My.Net application takes up x memory capacity.
• I opened some dialogs and now it takes x + y amount of memory
• Closed all recently opened dialogs.
• fixed memory is around x + Y

This is a memory leak or it could be a situation where the garbage collector has not cleared the memory.

And how events are also considered as links. What if an event is present in a dereferenced object? then this event will not be considered a link, right?

Answer 1

The garbage collector only frees objects that are no longer referenced.

How to use a memory profiling tool like JetBrains dotTrace to profile memory usage in your application?

This may be a situation where the garbage collector did not clear the memory.
