Memory Leak in GridView RowDetails?

[Konrad]

Hello,

I got a problem with the RowDetails of a GridView.
When I view the RowDetails of a row an scroll up and down the GridView, so the RowDetails go of visible area. The Unload Event of the RowDetails will be Riesed. Next time the RowDetails come back to the visible area a new RowDetails object will be loaded. But the Memory of the old RowDetails obejct will not de relaesed. So the application allocates more and more memory until the Application crashes.
Is there a way to avoid a Memory Leak by using RowDetailsTemplate.

I use the Silverlight Controls: 2012.2 912

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Try to release resources used in RowDetails on RowDetails unloaded event. Most probably there is an event handler which holds a reference to an object inside RowDetails (which prevents Garbage collector to do its job).

Hello Nedyalko,

there are no event handler which holds references to obejcts.

The Next Step i have tested it with an empty UserControl as RowDetailsTemplate. The destructor of the UserControl is called when the GridView is scrolling up and down. Thats ok. But when I add a GridView control to the UserControl(RowDetailsTempalte), the destructor is no longer called. I tested it with and without ItemsSource binding to the inner GridView.
What can i do?
I also test it with the last internal Build with no effect.

Thanks in advance.
