  You can also use Asp.Net Web Profiler for running applications. It actually displays all content in the asp.net cache and application state. It will also display all active sessions in the application along with the content in each session. Sizes of all serializable objects will be calculated and displayed for drill down into managed object properties and contents. You can get it at http://www.aspwebprofiler.com
