Framework, Citrix, and memory concerns

I have a .Net windows app running over a Citrix enviornment that normally
shows 30 to 50MB of usage according to the server's Task Manager. Our Citrix
admin is concerned that this app will register 150MB+ for certain users at
certain times and then hold onto this memory.

Should we be concerned with this kind of usage? I've read the framework
takes more memory than it needs and deallocates as necessary for single .Net
applications. Does behavior also apply to the Citrix environment where there
are multiple instances of the same application?

Thanks

Yes, it also applies to Citrix/TS environments. Note that it's true that
managed applications have a larger memory footprint (especially private
pages) than unmanaged apps, and this can become an issue for TS deployed
applications, but with a carefull design this shouldn't be such a big issue,
but it's easy to forget about memory consumption in an highly virtualized OO
development environment.

Hey All, We are hosting our Access XP application via Citrix and are having some confusion about memory. The Citrix server has 2GB of RAM, and what we are perceiving is that only a fraction of this appears to be utilized by Access/Jet before it starts swapping in and out memory paging files. Is there any way to change this behavior to have our application rely more on RAM first? Thanks,

I have a client that has a split database (front-end/back-end). They are also using Access security - MDW file. The front end MDE file, the back end MDB file, and the MDW file are all located on a shared folder on the file server. They have two populations of users - local and remote. *ALL* users currently get to the system via a Citrix login. They log in to Citrix and get a Citrix desktop. Then they start the application via a...

I am an Access developer and have done many Access databases in the standard Front-end on the workstations, backend on the server (over a LAN) but have never worked with Access over Citrix, though that situation is coming up for me shortly. Question: When you run the front-end on the Server, does Citrix clone the front end application database file for each user that connects or do they all connect to physically the same front-end...

An application I wrote has been deployed on Citrix, and the Citrix admin tells me all users run the same .mde file. There aren't a lot of concurrent users, but even 2 could be cause for concern. I think the use of globals is worrisome in this case. Anybody have any experience with Access on Citrix? (Al Kallal already griped me out about globals, but if he has anything new to add I'm all ears).

Hello, currently we encounter several huge memoryproblems running .NET C# Applications under Windows Terminal Servers/Citrix. Sometimes the program claims 100 MB which is not very much at a single PC but a pain in the ass at a Terminalserver when 20-25 Users start the program (25*100 = 2500 MB). We made some analysis:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
