Hi all,

If a page doesn't close an object, as I understand it will stay in memory.  I want to just keep a check to make sure this isn't happening, so what I would like to know is which process in the task manager holds the objects?  I just want to check it's not continually rising over a period of time.

ASP runs as an ISAPI module so I'm guessing inetinfo.exe

Aren't the objects released when the script timesout?

Strangely Microsoft recomends 8 mins but IIS has 20 mins by default, you could also set it lower, but becareful here as some scripts need time to execute.

The objects are session based so you can always explicitly close the session which is a good practice if you have a "Logout" button.

Doesn't necessarily mean that the objects are immediately released though. Session cleanup is a background process that happens when the server feels it has the time and inclination.

8-10 minute session timeouts are probably adequate for the vast majority of sites. The exception would be sites where usere may need to enter a lot of info through a form or CMS. Nothing worse than typing a page or two only to find you lost it upon submit because your session timed out.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
