Zune Memory Usage Status?

sableholic · 07-20-2008, 07:50 AM

I was just wondering if its possible to determine how much memory a game is currently using up or how much memory is available.

Code:

spriteBatch.DrawString(font, GC.GetTotalMemory(false).ToString(), new Vector2(10, 10), Color.White);

This shows the currently used memory. The GC (Garbage Collector) frees memory from time to time (usually when 1 MB of additional memory was allocated), so the printed value grows and shrinks with the garbage collector doing its work.

Is that in bytes or what? When I tried using it, it just seemed to just go up.

Yes, its the amount of bytes... and it will drop down again when the garbage collector does its job.

So then I suppose if you subtract that from 16 MBs, you can get an approximation of the amount of memory you have left.

You'd have to convert 16 MBs to bytes or convert that value to MBs, but yea. Thanks DinoGames.

Code:

//(16MBs in bytes - current bytes used)/bytes in a MB
            long mbsleft = (16777216 - GC.GetTotalMemory(false))/1048576;
