How to find the Size of an object in VB.NET ?

Hi

I want to find the Size of an object in VB.NET. Can you please let me know how this can be done ? Similarly I want to find the Size of a string also in VB.NET. Can you please let me know how to do that ?

Thanks

There is no way to get the size of an object in VB.NET. As for the string, the best you can do is Len(stringVariable), which returns the number of characters or then optimum number of bytes taken up by the string.

Could you be a little more specific?...what are you trying to do here? Are you working with some external API that needs the size of something?

I will have an ParentObject with SubObjects, during runtime i need to check the size of the ParentObject. If its size is more than 100 K then i do not want to do anything. If it is less than 100 K i want to do some operations on that.

Is there something like SIZEOF() ?

Thanks

Normally you can serialize into binary and get the size of that binary value
