Detecting memory leaks....

[Sunfire785]

Does anyone know a program to detect memory leaks in VB programs? I really need one, cause I think there's a leak somewhere in the RPG i'm making. Evere since I animated the character, the character dissapears after about half a minutes, but it's still moving. When I close it, and try to run it again, VB gives me an "Out of memory" error. I want to find out if this is caused by the program, or something else. Thanks to anyone who can help.

First, you need to find out which sub leaks the memory. The sub must run a lot of times to get out of memory, I think. So make a counter so you can see how much times every sub runs. Maybe you can see this way where the leaking is.

Are you creating arrays of objects for the animation that you are not destroying and uncreating afterwards?

Do you know about using profilers? They show you what code runs how often.

There were some around on the net for VB several years ago.

Please, if anyone could download and examine my code, I can't figure out what's wrong. I'm quite stumped. I tried deleting the DC's before they were recreated, but it didn't seem to help. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

you definately gotta deleteDC once ur done with it. even tho your saving the new memory address to your long variable, the old dc is still takin up that block in memory, u just lose ur ability to access it.

i think? haha im not a game programmer...
