Thanks.. Yes, I'm concerned too :-) I've been using .NET Memory Profiler to try and track down the causes.
These tests are database integration tests using Castle and NHibernate. It seems that each test that runs leaks, which I suspect is due to some of the dynamic (proxy) classes that these libraries create. Even calling Dispose() on the container doesn't release everything, as I think these are stuck in the appdomain. These are integration tests, so we expect that they'll run slower, so that isn't such an issue. -dave On Dec 16, 7:53 am, Jeff Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > Unfortunately this is not supported out of the box right now.
