Error when checking the "Kept in memory only by disposed obj

[jasolution]

When profiling an asp.net website hosted in IIS, when I check the box under Common Leak Indicators called "Kept in memory only by disposed objects", I get this pop up error and the output will not display:

This is running on a fully patched 32-bit Windows 2003 Server machine with ample RAM and free disk space available.

Hi Jason,

I believe this could also be a symptom of ASP .NET's specialized multithreaded garbage collection disposing some .NET objects behind Profiler's back. Disabling "serverGC" should get memory profiling working for you. Please see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911716 for the instructions on how to turn it off.

I am running Server 2008 RC2
Running against IIS on port 80

setting gcServer="false" did not seem to help

Cheers

We think that serverGC can also be set in the "global" web.config in the CONFIG folder of the .NET installation, and maybe even in Machine.config. You may want to check those places as well as the local web.config.
