memory leak

[dmsruthi]

Hi,
am working on C# Windows application, I call TraceListener.writeline method every 5 milli seconds,

if I start my application its stopping after 6 hours or so, wht I am thinking is , it could be the problem with memory leak, bcos its creating logs with the size of 10 gb.


is there any way to stop that memory leak

Have you ever tried opening a 10gb log file? You're computer takes a bathroom break after the first 30 seconds.

Try splitting your log file up into many multiple files. C# can't handle writing to files that big.

Remember, 1 MB = a novel worth of information. You're trying to write to a file that is 10240 novels long every 5 milliseconds.

Hello,
Here in my application will write tons of information each time(5 ms), some times it exceed that capacity also(10gb).

Thanks

Please consider breaking up your log file into many multiple files. 10GB is too big for a text/log file.

TOO BIG.

Like JurkMonkey says.
Your file is too large to be handled easily. Try creating one file per minute or hour, to get the size of each down to a more managable size.

You may look at using EIF. It writes to a log file (or the application log if needed) on the kernal level so its super fast. It takes some getting used to but can be a light weight way to log lots of information.

For example. in a test I logged 100,000 separated events in 7.8 seconds.

Here is a link to more information.
