URGENT: OutofMemoryException.

[Guest]

Whenever our ASP.Net application starts it consumes 40 MB memory (this
reading are
from Task manager of aspnet_wp.exe) this keeps on growing. At very fast
rate. Every page hit increases the memory by 1 to 2 MB.
When it is tested on more users environment, the memory usage increases upto
1 GB and application gets crashed.
Is there any way to identify why so much of memory an application consumes
at start up. It give the error "OutofMemoryException".. HELP ASAP.

There was a leak in 1.0, connected to the permissions object - it was
corrected in 1.1. I cant recall any other leaks though thats not to say
there are none..........although I've not seen any in my own apps.

Have a read of this and see if it applies.

Also, you can get a 14 day eval of a .NET leak detector here that might help
you track it down.
