Snapshot on event

ukian

Hi, I'm tracking down a problem at the moment in a Silverlight application where it will suddenly go nuts and use memory until it crashes. The problem is it can take from an hour to 10 hours before it happens. If I'm not present and I ahve ANTS attached, the run away process will take down ANTS as well.

So I want an event based trigger. Watch the application for me and grab a snapshot if memory usage suddenly goes up by x%. It would also be nice if it could survive the "going nuts" process.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

We have something that may work just as you wish here. Its the snapshot API:


http://documentation.red-gate.com/displ ... apshot+API

You can embed the ability to take a snapshot in your code so this can be based on time or mem usage or anything else that's programmatic.

Hope it helps! Let me know if you have further questions (I check forums each working day).

Cheers for that. Problem is we're using Silverlight (It won't die no matter how long I hold its head under the water) for which there is no version of that API

Useful to know in the future though

Oh sorry- I should have twigged.

Silverlight does seem to 9 lives, I agree
