Hi Newsgroup,
I am developing a C# Windows Forms application that launches processes within
a background worker..
The processes seem to have a memory limit of about 278mb. Some proccesses
that get to that
amount of used memory seem to hang ;-(
Is there a memory limit that can be adjusted ?? The physical machine has 3
GB RAM, should be enough...
Thanks

I'm quite skeptical that BackgroundWorke r has anything to do with it. Can
you verify that the problem doesn't occur if you start them without using
BackgroundWorke r, or even if you start them manually?

Hi Jeroen,
let me 1st tell you something about the application:
- windows forms application that should act quite like a batchfile ->
launching programs out of a list,
- displays list of programs in a datagridview,
- Button_Click() - backgroundworke r.RunAsync()
- backgroundworke r.DoWork() - launches item per item the programs from the
list as a process.
now, I removed the bgworker.. still the same problem.
One console program consumes about 280mb within the started process and
hangs. when launching it from normal console start>execute program .... it
consumes about 400mb and exists normally.
I think the problem is the "process class" of c#. Is it possible to adjust
its maximum memorylimit, if it has a memory limit...
Any hints ?

As Jeroen accurately speculated. :)

It doesn't, and your problem is unlikely to be specific to the Process
class.
If the processes being launched are hanging, you need to debug that. That
is, debug a hung process, not the application starting the process.
Especially since the memory consumptions you're describing are so far
below any usual limitation on a modern PC, I really doubt that you've got
a memory consumption/limit problem. There's something else going on.

There is a client heap setting you can adjust for windows applications
although it applies mainly to COM+. Have a look at this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/556076

Hi guys
I have a time critical process, running on a worker thread. By "time
critical", I mean that certain parts of the process must be completed in a
specific time frame. The time when the process starts is not especially
important, but it must be complete within a small number of seconds.
The operations I am performing do not take a long time (hundreds of
milliseconds), but as each part of the process is complete, my worker thread...

Hi,
My production machine has 2G of memory, when aspnet_wp.exe goes up to about
~1.2G of memory usage, I start get out-of-memory exception. Other processes
don't use as much memory and I added all the peak memory usage of all the
processes (including aspnet_wp.exe), it goes up to no more than 1.5.
How is that possible? Would anyone know please help? thanks!

Hello. I have a process that can take a long time and I'm trying to put an
animated gif while the user is waiting.
I added a panel with a picturebox with the image inside. The panel is not
visible when the application starts, but before the process, I make it
visible.
The problem is that while the long process is running, the image doesn't
appear. The panel is empty.

When a process is started three segments are created :
1) Text.
2) Stack.
3) Data.
The size of First two is fixed and their upperlimit is fixed by the
compiler. (Plz correct if i'm wrong)
Now The Data Segment : at the start it's size is small but as the
process goes on and requires Dynamic Memory allocation, its size
increases.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
