How to Fix the Memory Leak in IE WebBrowser Control?

Question

I am trying to embed a WebBrowser Control in a C# Winform Application. This sounds easy enough. However I discovered that the WebBrowser control eats up a lot of memory ever

Answer 1

I experienced this problem with a simple webbrowser control on a form. It navigated to one web page and stayed there. According to task manager within 10 minutes it ate up 2gb of memory from 120mb.

A simple solution for my project was to go to the webbrowser controls properties in visual studio and change the 'AllowNavigation' to false. Now when I run my program it stays at 120mb. I hope this helps someone!
