<off-topic> When I first heard this, I thought 'potential denial of service attack'. A naive ASP.Net developer may compile a RegEx on a page load and reuse that RegEx throughout the render phase of the page. However, the developer may not realise they are allocating RAM each time a page is shown. The proper way to handle this in ASP.Net would be in a static constructor. </off-topic> Richard You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
