Hi,

I am working on VB.Net application.

My Application is taking too much memory after some time.

When I check in taskbar it goes beyond 200,000 K and increasing while my application is in idle state.

Is there any way I can check where is leakage is or what is the cause of the memory leaks?

Thanks

Surprising. Noone ever said do NOT use TaskManager to see what the memory usage of your app is. That is showing you how much memory is RESERVED for your app, not how much it's actually using.

.NET applications run in a somewhat virtual environment, where a machine (the .NET CLR) maintains the state of your applications execution environment, handling memory management, interop functionality, ...

It would help if you understood the source of and the meaning of the numbers you were looking at. The memory numbers are not as straight forward as you seem to think they are.

My 1. Good link for C++ developers, but this is specifically a vb.net question so your answer is not relevant to this question.
