Why does my application with multiple WebBrowser controls use so much memory?


The WebBrowser control is a resource-intensive control. Be sure to call the Dispose method when you are finished using the control to ensure that all resources are released in a timely fashion. You must call the Dispose method on the same thread that attached the events, which should always be the message or user-interface (UI) thread.

  4. IinternetSecurityManager - Provides custom security for the browser control.
