Number of page faults is raising!

[juhaka]

Hi!

I'm running my program (actually Windows service) made by C#. I trace it with Task Manager, and I noticed an odd thing. Mem Usage, VM Size, Handles and Threads are static (without 'normal' raising and shrinking), but number of Page Faults is raising all the time. When I started the service, the value was about 15 000 and 24 hours later, the value was about 44 000 and it was raising all the time.

How should I react to this? Have I a bug in my code? And how serious it is?

Thanks for your help, Juha Ka

Add the VMSize column to Task Manager by selecting "View | Choose Columns" when on the process pane.

A better way might be to use PerfMon. There are .NET Framework counters specficially for tracking stuff like this.
