Memory tracking for controls being used ?

[Barry]

Hello,

Our app is extremely heavy with Telerik controls (we use it for just about everything in our UI). We've been getting complaints about the overall memory footprint of our app. Obviously most of that would likely be due to data and business logic, but we also were looking to do an analysis of all (Terlerik) controls being used to see if any are contributing factors. One of our designers mentioned that he feels the Telerik grid control is "very expensive" from a memory point of view - and we use it all over the place in our app, even in places where the stock WPF grid control may have been good enough.

Are there any utilities to track all the controls memory usage ?....or any ways to tap into the controls to find out the memory usage of each individually ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Barry

Hello Barry,

We don't have any special utilities for memory tracking. What I could suggest you is to use a standard memory profiling approach. Basically, you can download any memory profiling tool (like the VS built-in tool, jetbrains, or ants performance profiler) and then look for issues with the Telerik controls.
