Hi,
Can someone please let me know if, during runtime, without using any counter
in a class (say class constructor), is it possible to find the number of
instances of a particular class (class objects) created and are not garbage
collected?
Thanks,
Naresh

Not from within the managed code itself. It may be possible with the
native profiling and/or debugging APIs.
