Increase in number of handles

Hi, I have a VB .NET 2003 Windows appl. Application is multithreaded handling 8 ports. The number of handles keep growing when monitored thro' the task manager & we reach to a point that the server should be restarted. Even an application restart doesn't help. Any known issues on this subject

    What do you mean by 'number of handles' A handle, to me, is an unmanaged resource, which means you're completely responsible for it.

    It sounds like your code is not managing it's resources properly.

    For the objects that I've created, I've implemented Dispose mthd & called the same at appropriate places. Lot of work cleaning up is expected to come frm GC. Any comments in particular to be chked on this pblm
