Memory usage drift (again)

.... maybe now that it's a little clearer.

Environment: Win Server 2003, :NET Framework 1.1, C#

I have an application that polls on a web service method every time a timer
event is raised. The method always returns an empty array of strings. I
report a part of the code just clarify a little:

public void OnTimedEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
string s="UserName";
// jgpm is the web service reference
// getOrders() takes a string as input and
// returns an empty array of strings
string[] tickets=jgpm.getOrders(s);
}

Every time this code is executed, causes the memory usage to increase of
few KB. I have already tried forcing the call of GC by using
System.GC.Collect() but it didn't work.
Do you have any other suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Hi
Do you have any other suggestion?

Just let the GC do its work :)

in case you have any worries decrease the interval of the timer and let it
running for a couple of days and see what happen, I'm pretty sure it will
not consume memory over a limit

Cheers,

As long as the memory increase is due to the managed heap growth, but what
if it's not the case.
The only way to know is to use a decent profiler, attach a debugger, or
carefully watch the performance counters.

The process starts from about 15MB and after few hours running reaches 150MB
and stops working. The call to the web service method starts generating
exceptions.
Monitoring the working set with performance monitor you can see a continuous
drift, sometime interrupted by the freed of a few MB.
