Visio memory leaks

[Mikhail Fishbeyn]

Hi,

I am using Visio 2003 ActiveX control. I wrote a simple application in C#.
It drops 10 rectangle shapes on a page, starts timer, and on each timer tick
sets Text property of all rectangular shapes. I am monitoring memory usage
with perfmon.exe. The memory used by the application is constantly climbing
up. Calling Garbage Collector doesn't help. Can anybody help me with it?

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
n++;
string str = n.ToString();
for(int y = 1; y < 11; y++)
{
Visio.Shape tmpShape = myPage.Shapes[y];
tmpShape.Text = str;
}
}

Thank,

a quick point from one of the blogs

"GC only fress memory if there are other apps which needs more memory. If
there is enough free space it will not free memory."
