This does not mean that you have a leak. This could be normal.

Because?

Maybe. Depends what you are doing. If your over time reading more data then memory usage will increase over time.

If there is no leak there is no leak.

Not having a leak does not mean you may not run out of memory at some point. If you store enough stuff into it over time you will run out.

And maybe you do have a leak.

There just isn't enough information for us to go on here. First of all why are you concerned about this? Any other reason besides task manager? Second, you'll need to tell us at least more about what the program does and probably some snippets of code would be useful.

This is a server client app. hmmm. is there a way to force this?
