Regarding aspnet_wp.exe problem !!!

<i><b>Originally posted by : Bragadish (bragadish@hexaware.com)</b></i><br />Hi there,<br /><br />Am facing problems with the amount of memory being used by this aspnet_wp.exe. I understand that the asp.net engine(aspnet_wp.exe) starts building all the applications during the first hit to the website requesting for the aspx file.<br /><br />My first problem is, for the first time when i request for an aspx file, i get the exception "Unhandled exception: application is restarting....". On refreshing, the page loads correctly. Why is this happening? Do you suspect my asp.net engine is not configuration properly? If so, whats the remedy for this?<br /><br />My second problem, once the aspnet_wp.exe is loaded into the memory, it stays in memory until i end IIS Admin services. While in the memory, it is eating up 70-80% of the system resources along with inetinfo service. I can see this happen in Task Manager. Resulting which, the performance of the OS(Windows 2000 server) is slowed down drastically. Give me a solution for this, please.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Bragadish.

Check it out at www.stlnet.org web site:<br /> <br />On June 6, Microsoft released a patch for the .NET Framework via Windows Update and MSDN to fix an unchecked buffer in the ASP.NET worker process. The vulnerability does not apply to default ASP.NET Web application configurations. It only affects those applications using cookies in conjunction with StateServer session management. The vulnerability can be used to cause an ASP.NET application to restart. <br />Please note that the vulnerability does not occur in any module written using managed code. The function in question was written using unmanaged code. The patch fully eliminates the vulnerability. <br /><br />For more information, you can check out the security bulletin at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS02-026.asp.<br /><br /><br /><br />------------<br />steve at 6/10/2002 10:33:34 PM<br /><br />type of hardware, I'd suggest a server class machine with a gig of ram. you can throttle the asp.net process to use X amount of memory buy adjusting it in the machine.config.<br /><br /><br />------------<br />Bragadish at 6/10/2002 3:22:09 AM<br /><br />Hi there,<br /><br />Am facing problems with the amount of memory being used by this aspnet_wp.exe.
