1712799 - On form close - WPF viewer not released from memory

• Viewing many reports using the WPF viewer in an application results in high memory usage (about 8 MB per report view)

• SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010
• Visual Studio 2010

• The Crystal Report viewer is not being released from memory even though the window that contains it has been closed

• Issue has been tracked ADAPT01633561 and resolved in Service Pack 5

 

• Workaround (suggested before above resolution:

Handle the closing of the window and just minimize the window rather than close it.  This means that every report is viewed in the same window rather than a new window each time.  This prevented the crash and handled the memory consumption quite well.  You can try this as a workaround while we investigate the issue.

     private void Window_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
        {
             e.Cancel = true;
            _report.Close();
            _report.Dispose();
            this.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
        }
