I try to serialize a dataset with the BinaryFormatter. The size of the
dataset is about 23mb. When i call the serialise method of the
BinaryFormatter, the memory used by my process goes from 51500k to 256736k as
reported by the task manager and there is nothing i can do to reclaim this
memory. Is there a memory leak in this method?
