Hi,
In the old forum, someone highlighted an issue with a memory leak when using WinSpellChecker. I'm using.Net 2007 Vol v2, and I still have this problem. Using Ants profiler, it appears the dictionary is loaded on every form show and never released. Was it ever resolved?
Thanks
Ryan
I'm not sure about your question, but you could use the code I'm pasting below in a timer that executes every so many minutes to keep memory usage lower. If you're using C# and will test it out you'll see how much it saves.
try { Process process = Process.GetCurrentProcess(); process.MaxWorkingSet = process.MaxWorkingSet; process.Dispose(); } catch { }
Thanks for the tip Torrey, but it doesn't help with my issue. It appears WinSpellChecker is loading an instance of the dictionary every time a form is loaded but never gets released when the form is closed.
I've attached a sample program that highlights the issue.
Make sure the spell checker is being disposed when the Form is disposed. Either dispose it manually or make sure the components collection defined on the Form is being passed to the UltraSpellChecker's constructor and that collection is being disposed when the Form is disposed. If the problem is still occurring after disposing the spell checker, I would recommend submitting the issue to the support group: http://www.infragistics.com/gethelp.
Dispose works most of the time, but not all the time. I have 130+ users, but at least one a day has to re-boot the app due to a memory leak due to the spell checker. Maybe it has something to do with them remote logging into a server to run the app, don't know, but I do know that it is the spell checker but that's all is on that form that is causing the leak...that and a textbox. I dispose of it in the FormClosing event like below.
Private Sub AccountNote_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing UltraSpellChecker1.Dispose() End Sub
Which version are you using? They fixed the issue for me with the any release after 2007 Vol v2.
