Objects Lifetime View
The Objects Lifetime view lists total instances of each type and a generation bucket that lists the amount of time that an instance of a type lived. For more information, see How to: Collect .NET Memory Allocation and Lifetime Data.
The Objects Life Time view can be customized to add or remove columns by using a shortcut menu. It has the following columns:
| Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
Class Name |
Name of the class. |
Class Token |
Metadata identifier of the class. |
Gen n bytes Collected |

Instances Alive At End |
Number of instances of objects that were in memory at the end of profiling session. |
Large Object Heap Bytes Collected |
Total number of bytes collected by the .NET Framework's garbage collector for large objects that were allocated on the heap. |
Large Object Heap Instances Collected |

Process ID |
The numeric identifier of the process. |
Total Bytes Allocated |
