w3wp.exe reaching 500mb after several requests
-
Our application is hosted in win 2003 server, iis6.0 ASP.NET 1.1 with vb.net After several requests(not a huge number) by the user, the worker process zooms up to 500 mb and it stops responding. It was tested from multiple machines. If the same application is tested from a single machine opening multiple instances, it increases the size somewhat by 2MB but doesn't reach 500 MB. We are checking for any memory leaks. The form that has been tested has got huge functionality of creating multiple contrls, mainly (input type=text) and it is assigned to the text of a ASP:literal control. The processing involves going through multiple functions in loops. Each loop having some string builders and it is assigned to main string builder. We are searching google also to find out ways of solving this. I request your help on this as this is a urgent one Thanks, K.P.Kannan

I am guessing you aren't properly disposing of your string builders. You also are probably storing too many large objects in your Session variable. Just some guesses. Ben
You are absolutely right. We were not clearing a session object properly and it was also huge. Thanks for the help
