Latest LinqPad crashing on startup

ajohnstone1

The newest version of LinqPad almost always crashes on startup just after the main window is displayed with an OutOfMemoryException.

Also, its not very helpful that it tries to force itself to update after I uninstalled the new version and re-installed the older one I was using.

Perhaps you have too many connections(?)

You can suppress the auto update with the -noupdate and -noforward switches. Does LINQPad offer you the option of reporting the error? The stack trace it sends might be useful, especially if its the first error.

lkundberg; I have 22 connections, so perhaps that is where LinqPad is tripping up.

Joe, thanks for the switches. LP does offer the option to report the error, and I've told it to dozens of times.

Try the latest beta:

I've identified and fixed an intermittent GDI resource leak.

The beta hasn't crashed so far but I've only started it a few times.
