Question

I have application web based net 1.1 Every three or four hour I have the restart my iis server because the performance becomes so slow , nothing will function with message memory leak. I traced the problem to the w3wp.exe in windows server 2003, Using the task manager, I can watch as memory is being added to this exe each time I open or refresh my web pages, but I never see memory released. Eventually there will be so much memory consumed, the web server will slow right down to nothing with display error memory leak and other message.

I don’t know about solve that, I needed for monitoring memory used w3wp.exe so I can to release memory normal.

Unfortunately, it isn’t likely to be the w3wp.exe process itself, but the assemblies that it loads to run your application. I would check through your source code and make sure that you are releasing unmanaged resources, closing connections and disposing of IDisposable types.
