"Your first problem is that GC.Collect() doesn't promise a Gen1 collect."

It does according to the documentation for GC.Collect():

"Forces garbage collection of all generations."

It doesn't guarantee that everything will *be* collected - objects with finalizers will quite probably get promoted etc - but I don't think an implementation which did a straight gen0 collect would be valid under the documentation above.

What am I missing here?

GC.Collect() gives you a gen2 collect by default (i.e. all generations). However I find a lot of people seem to call this API without really knowing which generations will be collected at all which is sort of my point. You could of course do GC.Collect(1) but it leaves you with the bigger problem of trying to guess where it is that your objects have migrated, a game the GC is better suited to play on its own.

Are you getting OutOfMemoryExceptions when uploading large files?

Speaking of which... — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 16:39:34 GMT

Problem: Using the WebClient.Upload method for posting large files will eventually leave you stranded with OutOfMemoryExceptions. Cause: WebClient.Upload reads the entire file to memory by default. Resolution: Build your own uploader with just a few lines
