Memory usage profiled in task manager and ANTS profiler

Question

I am optimizing my silverlight application (in/out of browser) -memory optimization

I used several memory profilers, including ANTS, .Net memory profiler. The tools gave the result that the allocated memory was 38-40 MB. But, when I was using task manager the memory was at 300-400MB.

So what's the difference between the two results? What do the results mean?

I do know the same question was asked here. I am just searching a better answer from experts.
