    [CLOSED] Memory leaks when used in System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser instance

    We have a WPF desktop application which uses a System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser instance to load a web application.
    Once the web application is closed the desktop application disposes existing System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser instance and make the reference as null if any.

    Our web application uses ext.net controls. When this application is loaded in System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser instance and closed, still the memory acquired by System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser instance is not fully released. The web application has to be relaunched again and again in desktop application and everytime unreleased unmanaged memory gets increased. We did a sample application which uses ext.js but we didn?t experience this memory leak behavior. Here the web browser is Internet Explorer 8.

    Please help to solve this memory leak issue.

    Please clarify how do you determine this memory leak?

    Is it the same application as you did with Ext.NET? Well, I guess no, because there is no server controls at all in ExtJS.

    Also please clarify does memory leaking happen with WebBrowser only? Does it happen when the application is launched separately?

    Can you check an application is unloaded from a server or not?

    I would try to narrow the problem removing things from the application step-by-step and checking memory still leaks or not.

    Hi Danil,

    Thank you for your response.

    We did client side profiling of the desktop application that hosted the web browser component and observed the private memory. The application with Ext.NET controls did not release the memory it acquired but application with Ext.JS released.

    I am not sure whether I have understood your question correctly? I am talking about client side memory leak, not the server side.
    Yes in terms of controls both applications have the same controls.

    I am not sure whether You have understood our problem correctly? Our web application is launched through a browser component hosted in a desktop application. And we are referring to the memory leak in the process of desktop application even after we have disposed the web browser component.

    If you are referring to asp.net page unload event, yes the page is unloaded.

    Thanks for the answers.

    Seems this has left unanswered.

    So, any chance we can reproduce the problem locally?

    I have an application, just 70KB, I am facing a problem when trying to attach the zip file. It complains as an invalid file.
    How can I send it.

    Yes, the forums doesn't allow to attach a zip.

    What about to post the code directly here wrapping in [CODE ] tags?

    It is a WPF application and I have several files.
    It would be easy for you to use the application if I send you the project it self.
    Can I email it to you.

    Any way I am having the following 7 files below.

    How we test
    1. Build & launch the sample application. The entire source is included.
    2. Click on button ?Launch on WPF Web Browser?.
    3. A browser window will show up and display the web page as the url leads to. As can be seen, we specifically selected ext.net examples to be loaded.(you can test other sites by entering the url here)
    4. It may take a minute or two to completely load the page. Once it?s fully loaded, observe the memory usage.
    5. Click on the same button again. The existing browser window will be closed down, and hence the Dispose method is invoked. A new browser window will be created and show up to load the same url again.
    6. Again, observe the memory usage.
    7. Repeat the routine for like up to 10 times or more, it was observed that the memory resource is not dropping down despite disposing resources, instead the memory usage keeps on climbing. It even passes 1GB.

    When we test with different web sites as www.yahoo.com there is still memory leaks but it is very less(even as the percentage when considering the application size).
    Our application having ext.net controls too behave the same way as "ext.net examples web site".

    It would be easy for you to use the application if I send you the project it self.
    Can I email it to you.
    Agreed. You can attach it here changing the file extension to, for example, "txt".

    I attached SampleCDeskAppLauncher.txt. Please rename it to SampleCDeskAppLauncher.zip.

    Hi,

    I don't think that it is memory leakage
    Memory is totaly controlled by garabge collector, it cleans memory according own inner logic, it doesn't clean memory immediately after that memory is free.
    For me, the memory grows to some limit (400-500 MB, 6-7 wpf browser window openening), after that memory consumption decreased

    If you need to free immediately (or atleast enforce memory garbage collecting) then you can add the following code to the end of CleanUp method
    System.GC.Collect(2, GCCollectionMode.Forced);
    System.GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

    We did a sample application which uses ext.js but we didn?t experience this memory leak behavior.
    Examples.ext.net uses iframes therefore you have to compare with site with iframes also (because iframe consumes large memory)
    I compared with "http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!/example/desktop/desktop.html" and have the same memory behaviour
    So, I don't think that it is something specifical with Ext.Net

    Also, if you try to find info about WebBrowser control in internet then you will find that many developers experience large memory consumption of WebBrowser control
