IE WebBrowser控件中的内存泄漏

Question

In C# I use as a web-browser control ( Watin browser control ) where I run this control into another thread of the main thread.

After a few hours, a memory leak is created.

There is another post ( here : How to Fix the Memory Leak in IE WebBrowser Control? or How to get around the memory leak in the .NET Webbrowser control? ) that suggests to call " SetProcessWorkingSetSize " from KERNEL32.DLL .

The workaround is to minimize the winform of web-browser control.

So my question is: if there is another way to solve this problem? and if not, if I use an alternative web-browser control like mozilla-gecko I will solve this memory-leak.

Answer 1

The solution is to call the garbage collector & force the Windows OS to clean the memory. For example into finally you can write :

finally
{
    GC.Collect();
    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

    EmptyWorkingSet(GetCurrentProcess());
}

EmptyWorkingSet forces the OS to clean the memory.
