datagrid memory leak?

[Guest]

okay, I have a wierd problem. first of all, when my app loads, it uses a lot
of memory. Most of which goes away if I minimize and reopen the application.
Second problem is that I have a datagrid on the application and as long as a
mouse is moving over the datagrid, it keeps accumulating memory and never
releases it. I don't have any events that should be causing this. Also, if I
move the mouse over other parts of the form, not the datagrid, the amount of
memory used doesn't go up. The only way to release the memory is to minimize
the app and restore it.

any idea why the datagrid isn't releasing the memory?

Can you give some specific time frames and numbers to this?

How much memory is accumulating when the app starts, how much does it
accumulate in how much time, etc.?

yeah, if you move your mouse over the grid, it'll add about 100k for every 10
seconds you move the mouse. The app starts with 12 megs of memory, when
minimized it uses 400k, then when restored, it uses about 4000-5000k.

After a full day of not minimizing or closing it, it has been seen to lose
memory up to about 80 megs.
