what dllhost host?

[svatasoiu]

Hi,

I have build few diferent applications in vb. All applications are using com components. Those components are packaged in COM+ packages and used in VB. Most of them (all but one) work fine. On one I have a memory leak that show in dllhost (the memory used by a particular dllhost it is increasing all the time).
My question is retated to what is runing in dllhost, and how can i trace / monitor which component (dll) is running in that dllhost.
If I guess corectly, in an dllhost will run all instances of objects build from an COM+ package. If I have 10 dll's installed in Package A in COM+, all the objects instantiated from any of those 10 dll's will run in one dllhost?

Thank you,

Sorin

hi,
(i'm sorry, my english is not very well)
each COM+ application has it's own DLLHOST.
u can track your components activity via Component Service Console (MMC).
if u click on the Components node under the COM+ application (in the application tree) u can see which object is active and how much time it has been called, how long it has been active (call times) etc. (you must click Status View in the toolbar).
if u want to see which application belong to it's DLLHOST, click on the COM+ application node (and click Status View in the toolbar also), now right click on the Task bar (the bottom one) and click Task Manager, now look for the PID that u see in the COM+ application in the process list, u can now know which application cause u troubles.
