Thanks to the garbage collector, we as .NET developers rarely have to deal with memory leaks. But when we do, it can be quite difficult to find and solve them. First of all, it is often a matter of recognizing the type of problem. Is it actually in the managed memory? If so, which part of our coding or dependencies is responsible?

In this talk, we will look at how memory management works in .NET. Armed with this knowledge, we will examine different types of memory leaks: How they occur, how we recognize them and how we can fix them. We will also learn why somethings something looks like a memory leak that really isn't.
