This morning I used Visual Studio 2017 Diagnostic Tools to take a snapshot before and after my native DLL call. I can diff the snapshots, but it produces a thousand lines of objects with their sizes and diffs. I tried filtering on words like "interop" and "native" but the results are meaningless to me. I get the impression that one needs practice or training to use this feature wisely. I'll look at some videos later today in the vague hope they might provide some clues. If anyone has praise for the Diagnostic Tools then I'd like to hear it. What's the trick to get productive? *Greg K*
