Urgent: Outofmemoryexception.

Whenever our 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. Error : Outofmemoryexception in aps.net pages.

You might want to look at this article which describes the causes of memory
leaks. Using string concatenation is a prime suspect. Is anti-virus software
getting in the way as well?

Also, here's an article on monitoring performance:
