Detecting Memory leaks tools on Wp7

Question

Does anyone know of any good tools to detect memory leaks on the Windows phone 7.5 platform?

Answer 1

The built-in profiling tools are probably the best starting point.

Select: Debug > Start Windows Phone Perfomance Analysis
and select the the "Memory" option

This will help you see any memory spikes and leaks and help you drill down to the cause.
