How good is .Net at identifying memory leaks?

[shetlandbob]

Hello,

Ala subject, I know when running a C++ application in debug, .NET identify's that your code has memory leaks, how good is it at actually doing this?

I currently have Viual C++ 6 and it does not do it at all, so was wondering how good is .NET at doing this?

Cheers

This is in both versions as far as I know.

If you're looking for some objective "detects 90% of known leaks", then I've no idea how good it is.

No doubt there is some grey area as to what actually constitutes a leak.

Compuware have an add-in that works with .NET and VC6 called DevPartner.
It will help with code in lots of ways, one of which is identifying memory leaks fairly accurately.


Hope that helps
