Hi, does anyone how how I might check on the memory usage of a running
application? I want to do this externally to the 'actual' application that
I've written, so a small stand alone app that can keep a check on another?

Basically the application in question hangs after a week or so of continual
use and I need to prove if it my application hogging memory or something
else.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

In PE, you right click the line for the running process, and you go to
Properties. PE will show you want you need to know. It have hooks into a
.Net Solution as well to show more about a .Net solution.
