Hi Memory Usage

[Greg Hill]

Hi,
I just created a play project, one form with one button that displays "Hello
World" (I couldn't resist).
Now when I open the taskmanager (on Win2K), I get about 14 MB memory for
this little nothing.

Why is that?

Hi Greg,

When you are only building Hello World applications you should not use
buttons and forms, that cost to much memory.

Did you know that management can be very expensive. You are using managed
code when you make dotNet software.

When it is good managemenet earns its own expenses back, however managment
earns seldom its own costs back when they interfere with one time very small
projects.

I hope this helps?

That's normal for .NET application. Don't forget, that the CLR must be loaded.
