The instruction at "0xXXXXXXXX" referenced memory at "0xXXXX

Neha

I have created a kiosk application in WPF that uses lots of images that renders dynamically and application works perfect for many hours and then gives this error randomly and force user to close the application and run it again.

Please help me to find out the cause behind it.May be its the images that are not de-allocating memory or something else that is causing memory leakage.Below is error message that displays.

The instruction at "0xXXXXXXXX" referenced memory at "0xXXXXXXXX", The memory could not be "written". Click on OK to terminate that program.
Click on OK to terminate the program.
Click on CANCEL to debug the program.

If I say yes it crashes - if I say no it crashes in about 30 seconds.

private void SetBackGroundGIFImage(string source)
{
BitmapImage image = null;
try
{
ImageControlBlock.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
imageControl.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
var img = new Uri(source);
var size = CommonFunctions.GetImageSize(img);
image = new BitmapImage();
image.BeginInit();
Uri imageSource = new Uri("file://" + source);
if (size.Width > 1024)
image.DecodePixelWidth = 1024;
image.UriSource = imageSource;
image.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad;
image.CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.IgnoreColorProfile;
image.EndInit();
ImageBehavior.SetAnimatedSource(imageControl, image);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
finally
{
image = null;
}
}

Above is my code.Please let me know if any thing is missing.

Thanks Nirav,

I have done that but it still happens.
Actually this issue occurs only one of our machine.

Hello,

you have to use Dispose or Finalize method for release the unused memory object.
