It starts consuming memory and after a while hogs as much as it can, until you restart it.</P> <P>The bug is when you have an image inside an AJAX control, e.g. - </P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; mso-no-proof: yes">&lt;</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #a31515; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; mso-no-proof: yes">asp</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; mso-no-proof: yes">:</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #a31515; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; mso-no-proof: yes">UpdateProgress</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; mso-no-proof: yes"> <SPAN style="COLOR: red">ID</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">="UpdateProgress7"</SPAN> <SPAN style="COLOR: red">runat</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">="server"&gt;<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; mso-no-proof: yes"><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: #a31515">ProgressTemplate</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">&gt;<o:p></o:p></SPAN></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; mso-no-proof: yes"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">&lt;</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: #a31515">img</SPAN> <SPAN style="COLOR: red">src</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">="Resources/Images/indicator.gif"</SPAN> <SPAN style="COLOR: blue">/&gt;</SPAN>Loading...<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; mso-no-proof: yes"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">&lt;/</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: #a31515">ProgressTemplate</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">&gt;<o:p></o:p></SPAN></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; mso-no-proof: yes"><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">&lt;/</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: #a31515">asp</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">:</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: #a31515">UpdateProgress</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">&gt;</SPAN></SPAN></P> <P mce_keep="true"> <P>Now if you have Visual Studio Orcas open the page in "Split" or "Design" mode, the image inside this control starts to flicker and the memory consumption starts increasing. <P>The workaround if you encounter this situation is to use the "Source" mode of the Designer. </P><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2994697" width="1" height="1">OrcasVisual Studio
