Hello,
I have a winforms application which, after a few hours of use, seems
to get slower and slower. I am using a datagrid and loading different
data (10 columns, 15 rows) on average about every minute. I made sure
that I am setting the datasource to nothing after I clear it before
going for more data. I also call the garbage collector after clearing
the data as well. The memory usage for this app never goes up too much
so I'm pretty sure I don't have a memory leak. After a couple of hours,
any action on the datagrid can take up to 30 seconds.
In searching for possible solutions, I came across this article from the
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms newsgroup:
http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/10/51621.aspx
most notably the lines:
"Thanks for reporting this problem. There is an active bug that has the
same performance symptoms it may be related. The other bug is related to
master-
detail DataGrids in Windows Forms but has a memory leak also. Your bug
may be related but I'm not sure of the scenario."
and wonder if someone here has a link to more information on this 'bug'
so I can see if it applies to my application. I sure am frustrated and
would like to find a fix or patch to this asap. Thanks,
