I have a memory leak in a MVC 3 application I have built. I have used DebugDiag to get some debug information, but am having difficulty understanding the results. The results point to clr!EEHeapAlloc+cb which just keeps going up and up in memory usage, everytime a page is refreshed. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Results follow:Function details\[code\]Function clr!EEHeapAlloc+cb Allocation type Heap allocation(s) Allocation Count 1507120 allocation(s) Allocation Size 1.13 GBytes Leak Probability 79%
