dotMemory Profiler window

View | Tool Windows | dotMemory Profiler

This window allows you to profile and analyze memory issues in .NET applications.

The dotMemory Profiler is a multi-tab window consisting of:

The Recent Workspaces tab used to open collected workspaces.
The Profiling tab used to control a profiling session.

Recent Workspaces tab

The Recent Workspaces tab is used to open previously collected workspaces. The tab contains a table with four columns each showing the corresponding workspace parameter: Last Opened, Name, Created, and Size.

To open a workspace, double-click it.

Profiling tab

After you start a profiling session, the dotMemory Profiler window will be opened on the Profiling tab. The tab allows you to manually control the session using the buttons on the toolbar:
