Everytime I take a memory snapshot on my application, my application's memory usage indicated by the windows task manager is suddenly reduced. However, I cannot get the same effect by calling GC.Collect in my code. So I want to know what does JustTrace do when taking a snapshot to force memory be freed?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for your question. Every time JustTrace takes a memory snapshot it uses ICorProfilerInfo::ForceGC method. As far as I know there is no difference in the implementation of ICorProfilerInfo::ForceGC() and System.GC.Collect() methods.
I would like to point you to this blog post which I find useful. The results I get with JustTrace, Visual Studio and GC.Collect() are quite similar.
All the best,
