I have a memory leak in a MVC 3 application I have built. I have used DebugDiag to get some debug information, but am having difficulty understanding the results. The results point to clr!EEHeapAlloc+cb which just keeps going up and up in memory usage, everytime a page is refreshed. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Results follow:
Function details
Function clr!EEHeapAlloc+cb
Allocation type Heap allocation(s)
Allocation Count 1507120 allocation(s)
Allocation Size 1.13 GBytes
Leak Probability 79%
Call stack sample 1
Address 0x214734a0
Allocation Time 00:05:02 since tracking started
