I have a simple app that has a listbox of URL's.I loop through these url's and display them in a webbrowser control.Ive noticed that on each page load the memory usage goes up from 5-10 megs, and will no go down. Ive researched a TON of solutions online and none seem to help at all.Do any of the pro's here know how to fix this memory issue in a webbrowser control?

i have created an app to load an access database into a datagridview, which contains web urls. When button is clicked it webbrowser1 navigates to each url and each webpages document.inertext is put into textbox. This all work fine but after a while the webbrowser navigation becomes increasingly slower.

I have done a lot of research on the memory leaks present in the WebBrowser control, and the following thread (http:url]...) told me that the only real way to reclaim the memory eaten up by WebBrowser is to load the control in a separate appdomain.I went ahead and did this, but when I unload the AppDomain that the WebbBrowser is created in (using AppDomain.Unload()), the memory is still not freed. I am looking at the Private Bytes of the process in Task Manager (which is accurate and what I'm interested in) to confirm this. The memory usage stays at 50MB+ instead of its default 5MB.Here is my code:
Form1.vb
Imports System.Reflection
Public Class Form1
Private ad_WBInst As AppDomain[code].....
I have a small app, that takes items in a listbox, and loops through them..Ive noticed that the memory usage just keeps getting higher and higher and higher until it crashes, how can i track where its no relasesing the memory?I am using the web browser control, and anytime i go to a new page, the memory useage goes up, and stays up..All other loops i have wont make the memory usage go up, only when i use the web browser.
View 4 RepliesWe have constructed a windows service unde W2003 Server in vb.net 2010 to process certain database transactions. It should work 24/7 o the server. However, after 3/4 days it blocks the windows server operation since the memory usage is ever-increasing. After many revisions, we decided to place under "comments" all operational code, including all transactions to the SQl Server database and left just a kind of shell service that is doing no real work. Still, under these circumstances, the memory usage goes on increasing. Any idea how to prevent this from happening?

I'm trying to fix a problem that is just killing my program's efficiency. When I run it, it starts out at maybe 10M of RAM, but it gradually increases. Within 20 minutes, it can get up to 700M of RAM. Now, when the program is restarted, all of this goes away and starts anew, but restarting the program every so often is a very loose solution. Here's what my program does: there's an array in which many (anywhere from 500-4000 or so) links are placed. I have a webbrowser that navigates to each of these and does an action on them, then moves to the next page. For example: [Code]
And all of the actions work perfectly, but the memory exponentially increases, resulting in a crash if left on for too long. I've searched Google and all I've found is that that's not the actual usage, and that if you just minimize it and maximize it again it will go down, but it did not when I tried it. Why is the memory increasing so much like that, and is there any way to fix it?
The follow code can be called about 6K times on the server it is run on then gets a out of memory error in the last catch statement. I don't see what is wrong with the code, it works well up until the out of memory..

I was running VS2008 express and WinXP and everything was working great. I'm now running VS2010 Express and Win7 x64
My issue is that I am running a webbrowser control that is loading a page with scripts and I get a "Out of memory at line xxxx" and the page wont finish. I've tried it on XP and it works fine so it is a Win7 issue. I call it by the standard, wb.navigate("link.com") and it errors out. If I do a "process.start("link.com") it opens a new window and works great. If I open IE or firefox standalone, everything works great. It has something to do with my webbrowser so my question is how/why is the webbrowser different than the standard IE webbrowser?
I would try to load a new IE window, but I don't know how to pull and push data to a webbrowser outside of my app. My app does form manipulation in website to streamline manual processes for filling forms out.
This code was put together for a one time run. It's purpose is to count all the pages in a group of images. After about 6000 of 1,250,000 images in ##X it throws an "out of memory" error. Besides it being thrown together for a one time run does anybody see anything obvious that could be causing the error?

View 7 RepliesI am working on a desktop application in VB.net 2005. The application contains a timer with an interval of 1 min. Each time the timer ticks, a set of functions gets executed, mostly database related.Initially the application runs fine. In processes(Task manager) the cpu usage goes to 100% every time the timer is invoked. But the timespan is around 1 sec(negligible).However as the time passes and after around 20 hours the time span of timer_tick increases to something like 20-30 secs. In this period cpu usage is 100% and the application does not responds. Gradually the time span of timer_tick increases to 1 min and the cpu uses gets stuck to 100% and the application does not responds.All objects are properly disposed. Moreover, this issue is with pentium 4 processors. The application runs fine on core 2 duo.[code]Many Select, Update and delete queries are performed in the timer.This problem occurs when I am using around 7000 records in database.

This is a very simple UDP Listener class. I can add it to my applications and give them the ability to accept a text command from a UDP packet. I use it for simple, insecure, non-vital communication between a couple apps. The code as written here works--except it has a memory leak. The program's memory usage will slowly build until it crashes. I believe I'm doing something wrong with the way I do the udp.receive method or perhaps the threading? I was trying to keep it as simple as possible when I wrote this, but let me know if I'm doing anything wonky here.

This is a little app that sits in your task bar and check a website for the presence of a simple string. The string is either "ONLINE" or "OFFLINE". THe problem is that there seems to be a minor memory leak, since every once in a while (I suppose when the timer expires) the memory it takes up increases by a good bit. [code]
View 7 Replies[Code] There is a dispose part that is called just after it finishes processing (don't know if it works, but from what I read I should be disposing it? [Code] When I run it like the above, I have NO memory leaks. It works great. I can have it run for hours and generate everything I need without any issues at all. When I change it so the oThread(ThreadCntr).Start() is working and I comment out MQM1(ThreadCntr).RouteIt() it fails around the 400th thread call (keep in mind I only do 10 threads at a time) from using up too much memory. If I run it with oThread(ThreadCntr).RouteIt() commented and using MQM1(ThreadCntr).RouteIt is working, it will run forever without running out of memory.
View 1 RepliesI am having a problem with an application I have developed, there seems to be a memory leak that causes the application to crash when it fills up the RAM. I have a process that repeats for each row of a given table, while this process works fine there is one line in particular which converts the results of a linq .tolist which is never disposed of. Since this process is only able to be executed ~200 times before an outofmemory exception occurs.
How can I dispose of the instance of each class to clear this memory in between iterations, or failing this is there a particular area in which I can look further to solve this problem?
I am having a problem with a Windows Service I have written, if I enable a certain option I am seeing what I think is a memory leak. I've looked at trying to debug this using crash dumps (the app doesn't crash BTW, I create them using process explorer), .NET Memory Profiler and WinDbg but I am not getting far down to my lack of expertise with these products.
The piece of code causing the problem is below, if I comment the call to this code out, memory usage is fine. What I am seeing is the private bytes for the process going up and up and up. This code is called regulairly and after 24 hours the private bytes for the process are huge (say 2GB) wheras if I comment the call to this code out the private bytes remain at around 160MB, fluctuating up and down as expected.I am not entirely sure if I am disposing of everything correctly (I think I am) and I just cant find whats causing the problem.
Here is the code:

Dim strProcessName, strUserName As String

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.
WebBrowser Example.zip IntroductionBecause the WebBrowser control that we use in .NET is a COM control, not all of its uses are straightforward and some of them (even those which seem like they should be easy) require that we dip into our Interop toolbox in order to properly implement them.
A perfect example of this is loading HTML content into the WebBrowser from memory, rather than a file or a URL. Anyone who's ever used the WebBrowser control before is familiar with the Navigate2 method, which tells the control to load content from a URL (or path to a file). Loading HTML content from memory, however, is a rather elusive practice because of the many steps involved in making it work.
MSHTML.HTMLDocumentYou might notice that the WebBrowser control exposes a "document" property. The object returned by this property can be coerced to the type of "mshtml.HTMLDocument" (you must add a reference to MSHTML to your project in order to make this work) as follows:
Code:Dim clsDocument As mshtml.HTMLDocument = CType(WebBrowser.Document, mshtml.HTMLDocument)
(NOTE: You will have to add a reference to the COM library MSHTML to your project to make this compile)
Once we create an instance of HTMLDocument, a whole new world opens up to us, providing all sorts of DOM access to the content of any given Web page.
If we were to create our own HTMLDocument object from memory, we could use the "write" method to write HTML content to the document from a string variable, like this:
Code:'initialize the document object within the HTMLDocument class... clsDocument.close() clsDocument.open("about:blank")
'write the HTML to the document using the MSHTML "write" method... Dim clsHTML() As Object = {sHTML} m_clsDocument.write(clsHTML) clsHTML= Nothing
WebBrowser Control ImplementationUsing the HTMLDocument returned by the "document" property of the WebBrowser control, however, is not as straight-forward. Because of the way that this object is created and initialized in memory (by the COM WebBrowser control), the "write" method fails when called as above. In order to write content to the HTMLDocument exposed by the WebBrowser control, we must first marshal the string value to a memory space that is compatible with COM. Once the string is properly marshalled, the COM interface IPersistStreamInit (implemented by the HTMLDocument class) must be used to pass the value into the object.
Interop DeclarationsIn order to pull all of this off, we must declare several Interop pieces, including an enumeration, a function, and two interfaces. The declarations for these pieces are as follows:

I'm having an issue which looks like a memory leak in one of my applications (the application uses more memory over time, an after about a week of work it hangs). I've detected and fixed some leaks related to classes I've written (comparing heap dumps taken with sos.dll revealed them quickly), and those no longer increase in number.
Currently, the only thing that dramatically increases over time are WeakReference instances, which increase at a steady rate of 1,000 new WeakReference instances per minute.My code doesn't use WeakReference directly, I never create those myself.
What could cause so many WeakReference instances to be created? I'm using VB.NET, Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5
I am supporting an application, which uses lots of String concatenations and I believe this is the cause of a memory leak which eventually causes an OutOfMemory exception. Please have a look at the code below:
Public Sub ConcatenateString() As String Dim Test1 As String
Test1 = "Hello"
Test1=Test1 & "my"
Test1=Test1 & "name"
[code]....
I believe there are nine Strings in memory at line ten as String is an immutable object, but only one reference to the String Test1 that contains: "Hello my name is Joe Blogs what is yours?". My question is; are all of these Strings picked up by the garbage collector when they go out of scope? i.e. when the sub routine finishes running. I seem to have a memory leak and am thinking that I should really be using a StringBuilder object.
I've ported an old piece of unmanaged code that used Crypto API to 100% managed .NET code. The code used DES algorithm, and had to maintain it for several reasons. Since the CryptoAPITransform instances got from the CreateDecryptor and CreateEncryptor methods are marked as reusable, I thought of just creating an instance of them and use them whenever needed.
