I am writing an editor in C#/.NET using AvalonDock.

If i close a document, the memory-consumption of my program doesn’t decrease. Even if I call the garbage collector manually. So i assume that there is still a reference of the document somewhere.

The software is huge and the document is a very central component, so it’s not easy to find every reference to it.

Does the Visual Studio 2010 debugger have a functionality to search for objects of a certain class in memory or something?

Alternatively, what would you do, if faced with such a problem?

    You need to use a memory profiler to find out what objects are in memory and what holds a reference to them.

    There are several different options – commercial and free.
