I have a program(x64) that consumes a large amount of memory. I am running it on win server 2008 R2 SP1 with 48 GB RAM(64 bit) .net frame work 4.5

I have also set gcAllowVeryLargeObjects = true in app.config.

When i run the program it consumes 18 GB memory after that it gives exception

C#

EXCEPTION: 
System.OutOfMemoryException: Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program.
at System.Text.StringBuilder.ExpandByABlock(Int32 minBlockCharCount)
   at System.Text.StringBuilder.Append(Char* value, Int32 valueCount)
   at System.Text.StringBuilder.Append(String value)

   document, CanonicalXmlNodeList refList)
   at System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.SignedXml.BuildDigestedReferences()
   at System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.SignedXml.ComputeSignature()

Its giving the "Insufficient memory" however we still have 30 GB memory free . Is it the limit of .net application or the server that giving me this error.

Is that XML file larger than 2 GB (i.e. Int32.MaxValue)?

Sometimes this error is refer to your Kernel memory or Pool memory, not your memory!
Do you use Message queue in your application?

You are definitely doing something wrong if you are signing a 18gb xml.

Try doing things in smaller pieces if it is necessary.

The Xml cryptography library is not designed for such usecases.
