Search for WPF resources and memory leaks

Question

Does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting resource and / or memory leaks in a WPF application?

I checked that there are some significant leaks in our application by tracking the heap sizes in the task manager when using the application. I downloaded the evaluation of the memory profiling tool, played with it for an hour or so and switched on. Now my evaluation period has expired. A lot of problems were published during use, but I did not invest time to go through the entire detailed report.

What is the best tool for this? Should I spend time and money on a Memory Profiler or go with something else. I used to use BoundsChecker in C ++, and it was great that slowed down the application, but it was determined exactly where you had the problem.

I would like the tool to identify the source of our leaks.

Any .net memory profiling tool. For profiling WPF profiles, we used http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969767.aspx .

But we could also improve the memory profiling of our WPF application with WinDbg .... even SOS . You just need to understand how his team is.
