Hey Group,
When I minimize and then maximize a form (in windows application), I see a
significant drop in memory usuage in the task manager. I tried to do the
same thing programatically during the form load event, but I don't see any
significant drop in memory usage. Anybody know why?
Thanks,
Bhargavan

Bhargavan,
Why are you trying to do this? Are you finding that it is consuming too
much memory and impacting other applications on the machine?

While I find the article informative, I think that the most important
line in it is:
In a way this is cheating the app – but it certainly improves the impression
of memory usage of the application on the machine.
That doesn't mean it's actually doing anything. In the end, people
really need to learn what the number in task manager means, and why they
^shouldn't^ use it to gauge memory consumption or performance of a .NET
application.

Hey Nicholas,
Actually I am running my windows application over a terminal server. So at
any time there will be a number of instances of the same application on the
terminal server and thats the many reason for my memory concern. I am
already using SetProcessWorkingSetSize but I want to improve the performance
even further. Any suggestions?

Bhargavan,
Without knowing about your application, I can't really say. However, I
would focus on the code that you write, as opposed to the CLR when looking
for performance gains. This isn't to say that your coding is bad or
whatnot, but usually, gains can be made in your own code before looking at
the environment or the runtime.

Hey Nicholas,
I don't think it is with my code. Even with just a blank form, you could see
the memory usuage drop drastically if you minimize and maximize it. You can
do this yourself. Just create a appliaction with a blank windows form in it.
Run it, see the memory usuage in task manager, then minimize and maximize
your application and check your memory usuage on the task manager again. You
will see a significant decrease in memory usuage. I am just trying to do the
same thing programatically (inside the form load event). But the memory drop
is not that significant and I donno why.

What kind of machine are you developing in? I don't see that happening on
my laptop or my desktop for that matter.
