Investigating an Instance

The Instance Graph shows the instances of the type that you suspect is leaking memory. You can also see the name of the specific field by looking at the arrow that is referring. Right-click an instance to get a context menu with the Inspect Instance command. When inspecting an instance you will see all instance variables that the object contains. This information will help you pinpoint where in your application the leaking object is leaking memory.
