This helped me finding the cause of a memory leak I had in my Silverlight program. When I ran the command!dumpheap –stat –type Myapp I found over 1 million objects of a certain type! So after that I knew what I had to look for! Thanks for this post. This helped me finding the cause of a memory leak I had in my Silverlight program. When I ran the command

With only 2GB of RAM here if I allowed it to, it would eat every bit of memory available.You can tell when watching Netflix. The first hour or so you're good. But then you have to kill firefox, kill silverlight (good luck finding it in process manager!) and move on with life.  I’ve used the windows Task Manager – I can watch it eat memory as time goes on.

I take it from the word (Pinned) that something still has a handle to this object. Do you know how to find out exactly who the who is?Regards Dewy Hi Davy,

This information is definatly pointing me in the right direction but I am getting what you had at the end of your demo:
0:032> !gcroot -nostacks 07a45abc
DOMAIN(06BF2C98):HANDLE(Pinned):64312f8:Root: 089e4260(System.Object[])->
079e5e38(System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.Object, mscorlib]])->
07a4ad64(System.Object[])->
07a45abc(BombDrop.Bomb)

For each of the objects that I have I expect them to be free. I take it from the word (Pinned) that something still has a handle to this object.
Do you know how to find out exactly who the who is?

Regards
Dewy
