Writing with Visual Basic.net
Even the smallest piece of code with no form and no references and the
debugging code removed still seems to use around 6000 k
what is .net doing to consume that amount of memory ?
how can i stop this from happening ?
I'm trying to create a small compact efficient piece of code that will be
constantly backgound running and people just wont take it seriously if its
using that amount of precious memory on their systems.
Thanx in advance

Unfortunaltey I agree with you and have noticed too that the memory
usage of a .net app is sickening. I have not been able to resolve this
but my app which basically does nothing except shows an mdi form
arrangement with some descent looking background images takes around 20
megs of ram. On top of that if I access my database it jumps up to
about 26 megs (and im not using datasets just datareaders) and when I
close it never goes back down to 20. I understand garbage collection
but how is this a benefit if all .net apps just eat memory. Than
garbage collection has to run more often defeating its own purpose.
Microsoft has always been good at eating RAM but this is obsurd. If
anyone knows why this happens and how to stop it I would be very
interested in knowing?

That's "normal".
what is .net doing to consume that amount of memory ?
The application will load some libraries and it will need the CLR to be
executed.

Use pure C.

Hi Deadly,
No other answer than Herfried,
Just curious are you talking about a handheld?
In other circumstanses 6K cost less than a hamburger.
Cor
No not for handheld ,
but if its going to be a permanent background task it needs to be very
compact , agree ?
Thanx

Hi Deadly,
I agree an I disagree, depends on the application.
In my opinion VB.net is not the language for what you describe.
I thought that for small compact background programs C++ unmanaged code is
still the solution.
But I can be wrong and has somebody a solution for you in VB.net
Cor
My PC time is very limited, just a hobby and I don't have time to practice
other languages.
Maybe I'll do some night classes sometime and learn some new stuff but until
then I guess I'm stuck with VB for now.

Hello
I have noticed some 'weird' memory usage in a vb.net windows app
The situation is as follows
I have an app (heavy on images) with 2 forms
(actually there are more forms and on starting the app I load some things into memory for global use of the app but I'll use only 2 starting forms to explain the situation)
situation 1
start app with form 1 (72mb memory usage), show form 2 and hide form 1 (89 mb memory usage

We have a VERY simple .NET C# Form Application, that has about a 23MB
Memory Footprint. It starts a window runs a process and does a regular
expression. I have done a GC.Collect to make sure that, no memory is
lying around. GC reports only 84k of allocations. Starting 5-10 of
this apps is going to start taking a considerable amount of memory. Is
there a way to reduce this?

the memory usage shown in GC and task manager both increase.

Hello,
I'm exploring why one of my C# .NET apps has "high" memory usage, and
whether I can reduce the memory usage.
I have an app that wakes up and processes text files into a database
periodically. What happens, is that the app reads the contents of a
text file line by line into an ArrayList. Each element of the ArrayList
is a string representing a record from the file. The ArrayList is then
processed, and the arraylist goes out of...

How come .Net applications use so much memory? Every application I compile
uses at least 10 MB of memory, even the ones consisting of only a form and
nothing else. If I minimize them though the memory usage drops to a couple
hundred KB. Why?
Is there anything I should to to prevent this? I have compiled in release
and deactivated all forms of debugging, I think!
Thanks,

Could someone confirm if the following reasoning is correct (64-bit DB2

For each connection to DB2 db, AIX will reserve a 64GB shared memory

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