Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You host active server pages (ASP webpages) on a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based device that includes ASP web components. For example, you configure the device to be an ASP web server.
-
Some ASP webpages use implicit type conversion. For example, a webpage includes the following Microsoft Visual Basic script code to do implicit type conversion from an integer to a string:
DIM varValue
varValue = 0
Response.Write(varValue) -
These webpages have the auto-refresh property configured. For example, one webpage includes the following HTML attribute to refresh the webpage every second:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="1">
-
Many client requests to go to the webpages are sent to the device.
In this scenario, the device may experience an "out of memory" issue.
Cause
This problem occurs because of a memory leak that occurs when there is an implicit type conversion. Also, the HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" attribute may speed up the memory leak.
