Hi,

I have aspnet_wp.exe with increasing on every postback and not every revisit
to any page. Even if I clear session and close the browser it remains in the
memory. What could be the issue??

You'll get more and better answers about ASP.Net from the
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet newsgroup.

The problem could be patience. Garbage Collection doesn't happen
immediately.

Or, it could be something you're doing that isn't releasing some sort of
unmanaged resource, like a file stream, for example, or database
Connection, something like that. This will slow down Garbage Collection. In
the case of a file stream, it won't get closed until the app shuts down.
