Process.VirtualMemorySize64 Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Diagnostics

Assembly:

System.Diagnostics.Process.dll

Source:

Process.cs

Gets the amount of the virtual memory, in bytes, allocated for the associated process.

public:
 property long VirtualMemorySize64 { long get(); };

public long VirtualMemorySize64 { get; }

member this.VirtualMemorySize64 : int64

Public ReadOnly Property VirtualMemorySize64 As Long

Property Value

Int64

The amount of virtual memory, in bytes, allocated for the associated process.

Examples

The following code example starts an instance of the Notepad application. The example then retrieves and displays various properties of the associated process. The example detects when the process exits, and displays its exit code and peak memory statistics.

#using <system.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Diagnostics;

   // Define variables to track the peak
   // memory usage of the process.

   try

      // Start the process.
      myProcess = Process::Start( "NotePad.exe" );

      // the user closes the program.

Remarks

The value returned by this property represents the most recently refreshed size of virtual memory used by the process, in bytes. To get the most up to date size, you need to call Refresh() method first.

The operating system maps the virtual address space for each process either to pages loaded in physical memory, or to pages stored in the virtual memory paging file on disk.

This property can be used to monitor memory usage on computers with 32-bit processors or 64-bit processors. The property value is equivalent to the Virtual Bytes performance counter for the process.
