Windows Phone 8: monitoring memory usage in mixed C # / C ++

Question

I want to track the memory usage of a mixed C # / C ++ application on Windows Phone 8 that uses Windows Runtime components. The problem is that when I open the analysis tools in Visual Studio (ALT + F1), I only have the Run option (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh202934%28v= vs .105% 29.aspx). Memory options are also available for a clean C # project.

Are there other more or less simple ways to monitor memory usage?

Hi,

Answer 1

Have you considered your own C # memory monitoring interface? It won't be as fancy or detailed as the Visual Studio memory analyzer, but that was the norm about a year before WP7.5 introduced memory profiling capabilities.

I already wrote about this topic in the Nokia Wiki under Windows Phone Application Memory Analysis Methods . In particular, the parts that you care about, Add 4fun MemoryCounter to the screen encoding and Create your own memory profiler .
