Allocation View

The Allocation view lists information about the function name and type of allocation, number of instances, total bytes allocated, and percent of total bytes. Additional columns can be added to the view. You can sort the data by clicking column names. For more information, see How to: Collect .NET Memory Allocation and Lifetime Data.

The Allocation view can be customized to add or remove columns using a shortcut menu. It has the following columns:
