Hi the problem is common as far as I know from reading post from this and other forums(memory usage for arcgis).
I'm developing a add-in for ArcMap that checks electricity flow in Geometric Network. I've created a loop for over 14 000 start points for my analysis. I'm using Utility Network Analyst and the FindFlowElements method, the algorithm is preety simple:
1. Get Geometric Network IDs for starting point(FCID, FID, subID)
2. Configure Geometric Network
3. FindFlowElements -> as a result i get junctionEIDs and edgeEIDs
4. Create selection from the result
5. Analyze the selection
6. Log info
7. Clearing the result
8. Clearing the flags for network utility
9. Clearing the selection for map
10. Partial refresh
11. Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(traceFlowSolver); // testing it because of the out of memory exception
and again from the point 1 for next point.
So when we tested this we encountered a lot of errors. I have the log info we are writing to txt file it will be easier to illustrate the problem with example:

The FindFlowElementos method was called 1375 times(14 000 expected...) and ArcMap already uses ~840 MB(when it reaches ~2GB arcmap throws an error) of memory and it's growing with every iteration. Sometimes it drops with few MB but no to often so i will propably have to do the cleaning manually, but the question is how?
I will explain now how i calculated/got the memory usage:
1.For ArcMap:
2.For Garbage Collector:
3.Memory usage for Lists<T> I'm calculating with method I took from StackExchange:
The question is how I can handle the increasing memory usage for ArcMap.exe? Anyone got idea?

I will explain now how i calculated/got the memory usage:
1.For ArcMap:
Code:
private const float mbyte = 1048576;
Process proc = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
string privMemSize = (proc.PrivateMemorySize64 / mbyte).ToString("0.0000");Code:
string gcTotalMem = (GC.GetTotalMemory(false) / mbyte).ToString("0.0000");Code:
private static string GetObjectSize(object TestObject)
{
try
{
BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
byte[] Array;
bf.Serialize(ms, TestObject);
Array = ms.ToArray();
return ((float)Array.Length / mbyte).ToString("0.00000");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
log.Error("========================================================================\n"
+ex.Message + "\n" + ex.StackTrace + "\n"
+ "========================================================================\n");
return "error";
}
