Is there existing issues with .NET applications
taking too much server memory?

There are several applications (.NET Windows Forms
and .NET Web applications) that have been developed and
deployed to a production server in my workplace. These
applications either connect to SQL Server, and/or Oracle.
Lately, the Operations Manager is concerned that these
applications are taking too much memory from the
production server. I believe the production server is a
NAS Server.

Is there any documentation I need to read regarding how
to develop .NET applications and memory issues?
Thanks!
Nancy

Hi Nancy,

I think there are two possible reason for the problem:

1. There is a memory leak in your applications. This can be caused by some
third party components or some bugs of .NET and windows. To check this, you
may refer to:

Using Performance Monitor to Identify a Pool Leak
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q130926

How to Troubleshoot Memory Leaks in IIS
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q811140

2. There is some resource in your .NET application which didn't get
collected by GC. You may call GC.Collect at a point for force these
component be collected.

Hope this help,

Try changing the CG-Collect-mode in .NET Configuration.

1. Open .NET-Configuration
2. Right-click this computer in the console
3. Choose Propertys
4. Change the gc-setting to "server"
5. Reboot
