UWP compiled binding x:Bind produces memory leaks

Question

While developing UWP application I recently found quite a few memory leaks preventing my pages from being collected by GC. I have a ContentPresenter on my page like:

<         


        

Answer 1

Yes it does cause memory leak, to prevent that you can use following steps:

1. Use IoC like UnityContainer and make your ViewModel or View ContainerControlLifeTime
2. Assign null to ViewModel property at xaml.cs once you move out of UI.
