Is there a way to know, programatically, how much space an object is taking in memory? (.Net 2.0)

Question

I would like to be able to know, in run-time in my code, how much memory a certain object is taking (a Dataset in this case, but i'm looking for a "general" solution).

Is this possible through reflection?

This is for .Net 2.0.

Thanks!

Great, so to sumarize, there is no easy way, other than using the Profiling API which is a lot of work. Thanks!

int size = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(int));

That should work too.

Not for an object, only for a struct. – Jon B Oct 22 '08 at 20:53
