asp.net queries and memory consumption

i am executing a large query to return several thousands of rows of data.  in sql query analyzer, the query runs for 3 minutes without using much memory.

i am writing an asp.net page that executes the same query in a stored procedure on the server.  when i do this. aspnet_wp.exe gets huge in a hurry, and eventually crashes from too much memory usage.  what can i do with asp/vb.net to not use very much RAM?

Try one of following (or all), it should help:
1. Make sure you close Sql connection (connObject.Close())
2.  <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c4ba5f3c-1eb2-4f3c-99b0-b0cde072a7d8&DisplayLang=en">Download IIS 5.0 Process Recycling Tool</href>
3. Set limit to wp memory consumption:<processModel>memoryLimit = 60
4. Upgrading to windows 2003 will solve your problem because by default it doesn't uses aspnet_wp.
