Can the amount of bytes that an object is consuming be determined?

The unmanaged and managed sizes of an object can differ.
sizeof() operator applies only to value types and not reference types.
Marshal.SizeOf(object o) - where "o" could be a reference gives the size of the unmanaged object.
The size calculation of a given class that contains character type is depending on the CharSet set for this class.
