Getting objects that reference my object

Asked by mskohut in .NET, C# Programming Language, Debugging Software for Development

Tags: .NET, SOS.dll, object references

In our .NET application I want to implement a switch in my Dispose methods. If the switch is on, I want to check if there are any objects on the managed heap that reference the object to be disposed (which of course might be slow, therefore the switch).
I thougt about using SOS.dll which has a "GCRoot" function which is able to find such references. I want to import this function in my code using [DllImport("sos.dll")], but I do not know the signature of the function. Does anybody know how to speak with this dll from .NET source code?
