ANTS Memory Profiler

What is ANTS Memory Profiler?

Find memory leaks and optimize memory usage in your .NET application

.NET developers use ANTS Memory Profiler to:

Find memory leaks in minutes

Optimize the memory usage of your C# and VB.NET code

Create a memory usage profile not managed by your code

Build better-performing, less resource-intensive applications

Why use ANTS Memory Profiler?

Automatic memory management in .NET makes development much easier, even more so for introducing memory leaks into your application. For example, forgetting to unregister event handlers can cause significant chunks of memory to be kept unnecessarily, but detecting that this is happening can be very difficult.

Trying to understand memory problems without a proper tool can take hours or days if you're lucky enough to know there's a problem. This is the time that would be best spent fixing the problem.

Key Features ANTS Memory Profiler

Get clear and meaningful results

Facilitating the interpretation of information. Spend your time fixing problems instead of struggling to understand them.

Get results fast

With a footprint of less than 32 MB, the profiler can profile large, complex applications comfortably, with virtually no overhead. Take as many snapshots of heap memory as you want, in seconds instead of minutes.

Quickly visualize the relationships between your objects

Use the instance retention graph to quickly see why your leaky objects are still being kept in memory. You don't need to build a mind map to keep track of how objects reference each other.

Get straight to the source of the problem

Intelligent analysis highlights the most likely causes of problems, often saving hours of problem hunting.

Quickly focus on the cause

Powerful filtering options let you eliminate noise, allowing you to quickly get to the root of even the most complex problems.

ANTS Memory Profiler Features

The instance retention graph allows you to quickly see the shortest reference paths for all GC roots, which will need to be broken to fix memory leaks.

Compare any two snapshots to each other with ANTS Memory Profiler.

Automated API to take snapshots from within your app using a single line of code.

Able to connect to a running .NET 4/4.5/4.6 process. Ideal if you want zero downtime and preserve the state of your current process.

Ability to profile .NET executables, ASP.NET and ASP.NET 5 DNX applications and web services on IIS, IIS Express, and Web Development Server, worker and web roles running on the local Azure emulator, SharePoint 2007 or 2010 collections, Silverlight applications, Windows Services, and COM+ applications.

Supports .NET 2 through .NET 4.7, including .NET Core and .NET Standard, in any language supported by the .NET framework.

Unmanaged memory usage profile - If your .NET code uses unmanaged code or components, you can see how much memory the unmanaged modules and classes are maintaining.

Ability to obtain and analyze an arbitrarily large number of memory snapshots.

One-step configuration dialog with ANTS Memory Profiler.

Mount load preview to allow you to explore the memory consumption of static and dynamic assemblies.

Suporte nativo do Windows Presentation Framework (WPF).
