We appear to have a memory leak when using the Sample application for the Reporting Web
Basically we load tons of reports and notice that the memory does not get released by the process that creates them. Is this an issue, could you tell me possibly what could be going on?

Hi Thomas,
Currently, the amount of memory allocated when rendering the reports is not optimized as much as possible. This is a known issue and we will look at it as soon as we finish with some more important tasks concerning the core Reporting functionality and features.
If fact, we cannot say that this problem is caused by memory leaks because in the managed code, the memory is handled by the garbage collector. However, we will do our best to improve the memory utilization.
Best wishes,

Hi I'm experiencing memory leaks as well. You are right that it is handled by the garbage collecctor, but that could take an hour or so to start (The garbage collector is not running always.

Hi R.J.J. Marks,
We have still not been able to work explicitly on memory utilization and caching. However various fixes and small optimizations have been made that should improve this behavior compared to the version when this forum thread was opened. We do have caching logged as one of our priorities for the Reporting performance improvement and you will see it implemented for a subsequent version.

How prevalent is this issue?
My company is evaluating switching from Crystal Reports to other reporting controls. We have a product which automates complex print runs, often consisting of 6-12 different report templates printed in dynamic collation for multiple recipients. We can easily need to print hundreds of reports in a print run.

Hi Dave,
The rendering is the slowest part of our product and we have already started working on improving it. Currently every time the report is previewed or exported through the viewer it is processed and rendered from scratch.. Obviously, this is not the best way to do this, but we still lack any caching mechanism. If everything goes as expected until the end of the year we will have a better performing rendering engine, which will exhibit much better results.
Meanwhile you can test how it behaves for your scenarios and decide whether it fits your needs. If we can be of further help during your evaluation - do not hesitate to drop us a line with your question.
Sincerely yours,
Steve

Well waiting is not my biggest concearn, but the server holding 100Megs of memory for an export that contains 1000 records really frightens me and sets me to wonder why this was released in the first place. It already crashed our server 3 times and I'm now forced to find another solution (in the form of a RadGrid) only that gives other issues as the PDF export of RadGrid really renders funky. The PDF export functionality needs some optimalisations as well. I cannot get some decent characters in the PDF.

Hello R.J.J. Marks,
Can you please check the app pool for your app and increase the available memory? A value of 300 Mb used memory and default value for virtual memory should solve this problem. As for the pdf export - do you refer to our Reporting export or RadGrid pdf export? If the latter please open a separate ticket for the grid control. As to Reporting pdf export - make sure that you are using an unicode font and that font supports the character you are trying to display.

Well I kicked the Telerik reporter out and creating one myself using RadGrid. I'll check the reporting next year and see if it is improved.
Thanks for your time.

In a .net windows application the form might have resource leaks though it is running with managed codes. We can use the below procedure to check if a form is having resource leak. |
