Entity framework uses a lot of memory

Question

Here is a image from the ANTS memory profiler. It seens that there are a lot of objects hold in memory. How can I find what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Do you clear the ObjectContext once in a while. If you keep an ObjectContext alive for a long time this will consume memory related to the size of the EntityDataModel and the number of Entities loaded into this ObjectContext.
