Hi,

Unsure if anybody can really help me or not. I am starting to teach myself VB.NET (i have been coding VB for years)... I am always concious of memory usage when writing applications. I have an app that is an MDI container, that doesn't really do that much - opens a DB connection and populates a Treeview. What I notice is when I run my app, it absorbs about 20Mb of memory. This I suppose is not the issue. The issue is when I minimise the application, the memory usage drops to about 1Mb. Again, not the issue. The issue is when I restore the app and use it (you could even say abuse it - load many windows, etc...) the memory usage never goes above 5Mb? Does anybody know why in the initial instance it occupies 20Mb? Just curious - these days 20Mb is nothing and I doubt that any of my users would even notice - just got me thinking.

Thanks,
DJ
