Usage of SOS.dll to measure object size

March 2, 2009

Make sure ‘enabled managed debugging’ is checked in the project properties.

Add the directory where SOS.dll is located to the PATH environment variable,

which is in the  (C:\Windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50215)

At a breakpoint, in the immediate windows, execute :

.load sos.dll

!help  (shows a list of debugger commands)

Common ones (for looking at GridView objects as example):

!DumpHeap – type GridView

!DumpObj  0×00a8197 (or whatever address)
