Opening XPS document in .Net causes a memory leak

by

Well, I found it. It IS a bug in the framework and to work around it you add a call to UpdateLayout. Using statement can be changed to the following to provide a fix;

        Using XPSItem As New Windows.Xps.Packaging.XpsDocument(PathToTestXps, System.IO.FileAccess.Read)
            Dim FixedDocSequence As Windows.Documents.FixedDocumentSequence
            Dim DocPager As Windows.Documents.DocumentPaginator

            FixedDocSequence = XPSItem.GetFixedDocumentSequence
            DocPager = FixedDocSequence.DocumentPaginator
            DocPager.ComputePageCount()

            ' This is the fix, each page must be laid out otherwise resources are never released.'
            For PageIndex As Integer = 0 To DocPager.PageCount - 1
                DirectCast(DocPager.GetPage(PageIndex).Visual, Windows.Documents.FixedPage).UpdateLayout()
            Next
            FixedDocSequence = Nothing
        End Using
