Tips, Tools, Code and Strategies for Tracking Down Memory Leaks
Did you know that memory leaks can be found in most applications. Typically memory leaks aren't addressed until the application begins to perform slow or crash unexpectedly. In this talk we'll cover a wide range of topics to help you understand the difference between a memory leak and poor use of memory. We'll spend some time talking about the Garbage Collector and the coding patterns that result in leaks in the managed world. I will share some code that can help solve common memory leak patterns. I'll demonstrate tools I have built to help track down leaks and share those tools with you. And most importantly I will show you easy and proven strategies that you can use to detect memory leaks in your applications.
