    Memory used by a specific process

    Hi all,



    In my program I need to know the memory used by certain applications. I was
    able to get the free available memory on the machine, but not the memory
    that is used by a specific application.



    Is there a way of doing it?



    Thanks,

    Avi

      Avi,

      You will have to look at the performance counters for the system, and
      get the memory for a specific instance of an app.

      Hope this helps.

          The System.Diagnost ics.Process class holds a lot of memory related
          properties, is there anything specific you are missing.

          Willy.

              Thanks all,



              I used to use the performance counters' "Available MBytes" which gave me the
              machine available memory which was not enough for me. I found the counter I
              needed "Private Bytes" which gives the memory used by a single process



              Thanks for all your help,
