How to diagnose OutOfMemory Exceptions?

Question

We have a 32-bit .NET application that sometimes fire an OutOfMemory exception.
The stack trace shows the victim of out of memory condition.
How can we diagnose this problem?
Is there a way to find out what consumes memory?

Hello Gokhan,
I suggest that you could check this OutOfMemoryException
class to have a clear know why and when this exception is thrown:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.outofmemoryexception%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
and this blog:
“Out Of Memory” Does Not Refer to Physical Memory
>>Is there a way to find out what consumes memory?
To analyse an application at memory level, you could take a memory dump of your program at the point in time OutOfMemoryException occurs and analyze what's taking up so much memory by using tools as Windbd, Tess Ferrandez has an excellent How-To series on
her blog:.NET Debugging Demos Lab 3: Memory, you could refer to it.
