My vote of 2:

They're definitely fair questions...but you need to learn how to properly write a question and how to not do it curtly. You also need to learn how to actually ask a question and write in complete sentences.

How to release... is not a question.

And "Suggest tool." is a command, not a question or request.

There's a proper way to ask for help...and then there's the way you did it.

There are several good tools out there for looking at what is happening in memory. One of the best is Debugging Tools for Windows[^], DotTrace[^] is also an excellent tool, I have heard good thing about the ANTS Profiler[^] as well. Also I would reccommend that you read CLR via C#[^] to better understand what is happening with memory.
