FIX: A memory leak occurs when you run an application that requires the CLR to load a mixed-mode assembly in the .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2

SYMPTOMS

When you run an application that requires the common language runtime (CLR) to load a mixed-mode assembly in the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2), a memory leak occurs. You find a gradual increase in the memory by using one of the following methods:
  • You track the Bytes in Loader Heap performance counter under the .NET CLR Loading group in Performance Monitor.
  • You track the Virtual Bytes performance counter under the Process group in Performance Monitor.
  • You track the Task Manager.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
