    Technically you cant 'leak' memory in C#.  Maybe you're keeping un-intended long-lived references to objects?

    >Is there any tool to find out the memory leaks.

    Please download FXCOP 1.36 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9aeaa970-f281-4fb0-aba1-d59d7ed09772&DisplayLang=en

    I check all my ASP.NET web application, class projects and win forms application using FXCOP.

    It is possible to miss Dispose calls - FXCOP will point them out to you.

    I also suggest that you try Resharper from www.jetbrains.com, this will help you optimise your code. You can download a free trial from their web site.
