Runtime Memory

Mark

Hello.
I have developed a custom webbrowser for my son with features like group
browsing etc. So far so good. The program works fine. But then, when I look
into the memory usage the programme is using tons of megabytes of memory.
With 10 pages open, the programme is consuming about 60 MB of memory.
Without any webpage loaded, my custom browser uses about 45 MB of memory.
Opera on the other hand uses 15 megabytes on start up. With the same 10
pages loaded OPera uses only 18 MB.

Is the large memory usage a feature of Dot Net programs or does this
reflect my poor programming skills? How do I resolve this issue? Any help
will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

..NET uses more memory than other programming languages due to several
reasons such as complex objects and the managed environment of the .NET
engine.

However, 60MB for a Web Browser component does seem extreme (I wouldn't be
surprsied with 20 - 30MB tho). Are you using large datasets? Datasets use
up a lot of memory.

Hi Anon,
Thanks for your reply.
I am not using datasets at all so the runtime memory size is still a mystery.

Thanks
Mark
