I have some memory leaks in my project. I know that and I am going to fix them. The strange message I am referring to is the following (displayed in the output window of Visual Studio 10):

    This is likely a debugging output message from within your software, or a component you are referencing.

    A common technique is to include a print (using Debug.WriteLine) within a finalizer on an object when building in Debug mode. I would suggest searching for this text within your project(s).
