Hello friends.

I have to get the size of an object.

I have one dataset object in my page where I am filling data dynamically. Now I want to get the size of this dataset object to know how much memory is allocated by this object.

You can try reflection for the same.

C#

public static int GetSizeOfObject(object obj)
{
 object Value = null;
 int size = 0;
 Type type = obj.GetType();
 PropertyInfo[] info = type.GetProperties();
 foreach(PropertyInfo property in info)
 {
  Value = property.GetValue(obj,null);
  unsafe
  {
   size += sizeof(Value);
  }
 }
 return size;

Hi. thanks for code. but I am getting error where unsafe line is put. It says Unsafe code may only appear if compiling with /unsafe.

Thanks
