[mono-android] Simple project with massive memory leak

[SRI]

Hi,

         Before responding, can you please take the time to read the
full thread.

         My Response was to Jack's issue about a Massive Memory Leak
observed in his enclosed project. (Did you see the Project?)

         I just pointed out by googling that WebClient has issues with
Memory and hence he needs to change his code.

         If you have a concrete suggestion to Jack and me about how we
can change this code (Please look at his enclosed project) so that we
avoid memory leak as well as implement the functionality of
downloading from a Url, i will be gratefull.

         I am not an expert, but I know of only two methods of
downloading from a Url, either using WebRequest or WebClient and I am
not sure how BackgroundWorker can improve this.

        Thanks for you help.

Best Regards,
Sridharan Srinivasan
