SYMPTOMS
In the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1, when you use the RegisterClientScriptBlock method or the RegisterStartupScript method to register a large client-side script block, you may experience heap corruption and out-of-memory exceptions.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the client-side script block that you are registering is a very large string.

Note When a string is very large, the runtime allocates memory in the large object heap instead of the regular managed heap. To avoid moving large objects in memory in the large object heap, the memory is not compacted.



Service pack information
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows Server 2003. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, break the large string into smaller client-side script blocks. Then, individually register each client-side script block.

Note If you register more than eight client-side script blocks, the order that you registered the blocks is not preserved. Therefore, if the execution of the client-side script depends on the order of the script block registration, the client-side scripts may not behave as you expect.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section. This problem was first corrected in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2.
