- Investigating an OutOfMemoryException & Solving an OutOfMemoryException – Ayende shares a real world Out Of Memory exception in his profiler application caused by a particularly large SQL Query with lots of parameters, and looks at how assumptions about the data we are going to handle in our code can effect how efficient our code is, and how data that differs from expectations can cause problems.
