Out Of Memory Exception In WinForms
Sep 1, 2011
I created a TaskBar application in Visual Studio which minimizes itself inside the system tray and show notifications to the user based on the database change. Whenever a new task assigned to the user he will notified at the system tray like a balloon popup. But whenever the applications runs for an average 15 hours time suddenly my applications crashes and shows out of memory exception.How can i debug this issue ? I can't wait for 15 hours and check for this issue? Is there any tool available to check the memory leakage of my application which can directly point at my issue? How can i generate out of memory exception to my program so it will be debugged easily and fast?

I'm using a WinForms App built with IdeaBlade and DevExpress ... It looks to me like the DevExpress controls are causing objects to persist in memory. I'm trying to find what is preventing the garbage collector from removing then with little success.
Can anyone recommend an analysis app that is good at finding what handler, etc is holding an item in memory?
I've used AQTime 7 Pro and .Net Memory Profiler, but neither of them seem to make it clear what is causing the issue.

I'm trying to get to grips with how Windows Forms applications manage memory allocation. I'll give you an illustration of the problem. Take this simple winforms app which is a main form with two buttons: one that opens a form containing some random data, and another button that closes all open forms (except the main form) [Code] You can see the memory dropping at intervals (I've marked some of them above) which is good but it still slowly has a minimum that creeps up and up.
This is a very basic illustration of a much bigger production issue with a huge application with 100,000s lines of code and users that keep the app open all day. Over time they open and close a lot of forms and the memory creeps up. Is there any way to force the allocation down? I know I can force GC but this won't do anything as it's the memory post-GC that is remaining high as far as I can see.
This isn't a problem with references as far as I can see because I have spent some time experimenting with just one form in the main application opening and closing it and there are no references after it is closed and disposed and yet the memory still creeps up in a similar way to that logged above. Also if it was a problem with references, I'm not sure how that would explain my test app above.

I have a WinForms app that is relying on several libraries over which I have limited control, such as Forms.Images and Forms.WebBrowser. Sporadic sudden memory leaks cause my application to crash. These are not over-time memory leaks that build up. They are random, often different COM exceptions and are impossible to predict -- sometimes they happen after one hour, sometimes after a day.
My current methodology to at least temporarily cope with the problem is to have another application verify that the first one is running by using GetProcessesByName(). However, this is problematic because the ongoing process sometimes crashes but does not close. I just get a WER message (despite the fact that WER is turned off on the computer). What's worse is that when the first process crashes and the memory leak builds up, the second process-checking application ALSO crashes. And then nothing works until I manually reboot the whole shabang.
1) Does anybody know an effective way to have Process A check if Process B is running without having Process A subjected to the memory problems that made Process B crash?
2) If the above is not possible, or too difficult, does anybody know any good third-party tools that can be used to ensure that processes are running without any outstanding WER errors, that restart processes if WER faults are detected, and that can withstand maxed out RAM?

I am pretty new to Visual Basic and am only using it to create a very simple programme. It is essentially an interactive encyclopedia where the user can type in a subject into a text box and get a form with information on it to pop up. I am not using any data sets etc. While the forms are all very simple and the code very limited there are dozens of forms involved, this was working fine until recently when I started to run into OutOfMemoryExceptionThrown every time I try to build my program and debug it. This exception started appearing sporadically with the programme sometimes compliling fine and other times refusing to but now it is every time. I have never written code to do this before so how do I got about freeing up memory? I read in a similar post that it may be connected to allocating memory and then not freeing it up again, or perhaps having too many event handlers in my program without ending them, however I am lost and don't know how to fix these problems.

I am writing some code to retrieve data from SQL Server, including an image field. I load the retrieved image data into a byte array and then convert the array into an image. Finally, I want to show a thumbnail of the image in a picturebox control on my app's form. All this works perfectly on my dev machine running windows 7, but the following code:
Dim myblankCallback As Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort = New Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(AddressOf blankCallback)
PictureBox1.Image = newImage.GetThumbnailImage(180, 180, myblankCallback, New

I always get an out of memory exception with my drawings...I read somewhere that I have to dispose my graphics to diminish the amount of memory used by the system.
I have the onPaint event and in there I call my functions with
Dim g as Graphics = e.Graphics
draw_all(g)
So in fact I have to dispose the e.Graphics every time he has to be repainted. Now my question how can I do that, because when I write before the draw_all function g.Dispose, that doesn't work, because he deletes the declaration of g and he doesn't know anymore what it is. If I dispose it after the draw_all function, he doesn't want to draw either.

I got an out of memory exception in a photo editor thingy i was making in vb.net. The bitmap image is constantly changing, and I always Dispose() of it after it has been sent off to the other bitmap. Is it being stored in a temp folder and using up all my space on the computer, or what? It always bugs after about 8 bitmaps have been drawn.

I have a form created to act as a signature form. It will be used on an iPad via Citrix and that's not negotiable per my job so please don't make suggestions about developing it with Apple software. Anyway, on to the issue:Since this will be on an iPad I cannot use an OnMouseDown event to handle the drawing with the form. It consists of a PictureBox where the signature will occur. It works fine unless the user gets "draw happy" and starts drawing for a while. After a little time an Out of Memory Exception occurs and the program crashes.[code]

I have an application that listens for connections asynchronously. When a connection comes in, it spawns a new thread from the callback method. This works fine for up to about 13 simultaneous connections then it dies with an out of memory error. The threads that are spawned just do a CHAP handshake and authenticate then go in to a command loop where they sleep until a command comes in or a timeout occurs. I have pasted the code below. Sometimes it will not throw an error but the thread never gets spawned although the connection is accepted.
Code:
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Threading
Public Class UpdateMonitor

I have the following sub where i am reading in a 250mb file of dictionary words in a list, for example
Aardvark
Because
Count
[Code]....
As you can see i am wanting to use linq to remove duplicates, and also because i want to use the union and except statments elsewhere.
The above is fine if the filesize is about 150mb but with 250mb it throws a out of memory unhandled exception, on 'sWriter.Writeline(sline).
I am thinking this would need to be inside the loop, but cant work out how include my linq statement also.

I am using the following piece of code to load images as thumbnails to a FlowLayoutPanel control. Unfortunately i get an OutOfMemory exception.As you already guess the memory leak is found at line
Pedit.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fs)
So how could i optimize the following code?
Private Sub LoadImagesCommon(ByVal FlowPanel As FlowLayoutPanel, ByVal fi As FileInfo)
Pedit = New DevExpress.XtraEditors.PictureEdit
Pedit.Width = txtIconsWidth.EditValue
[code]....
Update: The problem occurs while loading a number of images (3264x2448px at 300dpi - each image is about 3Mb's)

I have a form that is used at design-time to configure various properties. I've tried two ways to do a form-level catch all exception:
(1) I add a handler to Application.ThreadException in the constructor.
(2) I wrap the Show method, of the form, in a Try/Catch block
Both of these work at run-time when I test by adding a property grid to a form and set my component as the SelectedObject. However, at design-time the form simply closes with no message whatsoever; neither my message nor any message explaining that there is an unhandled exception. This is not about debugging at design-time. It's about how to present the user with a friendly message when my type editor encounters an unhandled exception.

I have a winform where I have some controls like TabPane, Label, ....When I launch my application without localization, it works fine. When I put localizable parameter True, I have this error :
TargetInvocationException was unhandled
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.And when I debug my application, I follow the execution, program begins executing InitiliazeComponent(). I press F11 to continue the debug, program executes the TabIndex event of my TabPane and on the first instruction it crashes.My environment is VS2008, Framework 3.5. I store my project on a network hardisk (I test on local and it doesn't work too)

I have searched other forums, google, etc. and have not find a solution. I am creating a VB.NET application using Visual Studio 2010. My application runs fine inside the IDE. Outside of the IDE, it crashes immediately with an OOM exception. I have compiled the program in both VS 2010 and VS2008. The outcome is always the same. I increased my Desktop heap to 12288 meg from 3072 meg thinking that was the issue, but the outcome is the case. Although the increase does improve my response in the IDE. The error is also being reported as related to mscorlib.dll; and my version is for 2.0 framework is 2.0.50727 and for 4.0 framework is 4.0.30319. I am running Windows XP/SP3.

I have created a windows form based application and I want the form to add a user specified amount of user controls (with textboxes) on to a panel. The user can then click some button and the controls on this panel are cleared and new ones are added. The user does something and the process is repeated. Now, I wanted these textboxes to support spell checking and looked all over for a free solution.
WPF textboxes support spell checking where the ones in regular win forms do not. I thought I would be able to use these WPF textboxes by adding them to an ElementHost object which is, in turn, within a panel. This panel would be a user control.
So, in my application, I would be able to add instances of these user controls onto the form and make use of .NET's spell checking goodness. This actually worked but after using the application for a while, found that the application would eventually freeze on me due to out of memory errors. I have pinpointed the memory errors to these WPF controls since this problem does not happen with normal textboxes.
When the window is opened and the number of controls is specified, this is pretty much how the controls are added:
Dim xOffset As Integer = 0
For i As Integer = 0 To theNumber
Dim myUserControl As New SpecialUserControl()
[Code].....
There are a lot of results on the internet when I tried to find a solution and I'm thinking that the problem I am having is due to the fact that the WPF control is not going away even after clearing the panel. Following this conclusion, I have tried different solutions regarding disposing these controls or setting them to nothing but the memory problem keeps occurring.

I have a fairly complex application which makes use of an MS Access database. My application generates some 14million entries and inserts them after each generation, into the database. The app works perfectly without any bugs(that I am aware of) apart from one problem. If I run the app and let it run the full 14million odd data entries, the app crashes some way through and gives an Out of Memory exception.
I then loaded up TaskManager and notice that the memory usage increases by about 8-15Kb per second. I have done some reading and have tried using Dispose() to get rid of any objects finished with, I have tried building in release mode and the problem remains. I'm not even really sure if it is a memory leak or something else. I am using VS2010 and my application is running in .net 4.0.

I have a Windows Form application that has a global error handler to display unexpected errors.
Namespace My
Class MyApplication
Delegate Sub ProcessParametersDelegate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args() As String)
[code]....
1) for the same deployed code, I SOMETIMES get line number in the displayed StackTrace error message and sometimes do not, even when the error message includes source code that I have written rather than a referenced binary. The project is compiled with a DEBUG configuration.
2) The application strangely minimizes to the tray when the error occurs (I thin it is unlikely that anyone can diagnose this issue w/o my more code posted, but I'll mention it anyways)
3) When I try to intentionally raise an error by, for example, dividing by zero hoping to test by global error handler, I get a dialog error message from the interactive debugger rather than jumping into my global error handler (which i want to debug because there is more to it than I posted.) Do you have any idea how to triggerand force teh execution of the global event handler?
