How can I figure out how much memory a .Net Appdomain is consuming?

Question

I'm trying to programmatically restrict the memory consumption of plugins running in a .Net AppDomain, but I can't find any setup parameters for this, nor can I find a way to query an AppDomain to figure out how much memory it is consuming. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Not sure programatically, but Process Explorer can tell you how much memory a .net AppDomain is using. Maybe they have some documentation out there about how they are querying that info.

Answer 2

Here's the documentation for querying a process's memory usage. Not the same as the AppDomain, but it might be a place to start.

You can ask the GC what it thinks is currently allocated also.
