Visual Basic 2010: System.OutOfMemory error? How do I resolve this?

[Amith7798]

I get this error System.OutOfMemory
What's the solution?
I have about 10 forms in one project, And I just attached one song using the resource method, then memories done?
Should I add more memory? How do I add more?
Thanks in Advance

How big is your music file? How are you using it?

[formlesstree4]

Also, when and where are you getting the Exception?

[dday9]

Another important question is how are you playing the audio? Are you using My.Computer.Audio.Play, XNA, DirectX, etc.? I would also suggest reading an article by TechGnome, here.

When it was in .mp3 format it was about 7MB, but when I converted to .wav it became about 30+MB, I felt that was something awkward..

I'm using it in the .wav format, and putting it in resources and using the My.Computer.Audio.Play method...

[Amith7798]

I'm getting the Exception when I Debug the program and Run it...
Also, when I "build" it "fails"

[Amith7798]

jmcilhinney: The files about 5MB when in the .MP3 format, but when I convert using a tool, it's about 36MB, That's awkward...
I'm Using it in .wav format. Using the resource method, My.Computer.Audio.Play

formlesstree4: I'm getting the Exception when I click "Start" the program and Run it...
Also, when I "build" it "fails"

dday9: Sorry for the less info, and Yes, I'm using the My.computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources."Mysong", AudioPlayModeBackground)

My.computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources."Mysong", AudioPlayModeBackground)

Lose the quotation marks!

Lose the quotation marks!

Yeah, I know that, I just put it so that you wouldn't get confused!

How does it behave if you delete your present wav file from resources and use a different one -- preferably a wav file you are certain will play? The reason I ask is that OutOfMemory exceptions sometimes occur when a file is not in the expected format -- nothing to do with system memory.

If I delete the present wav file, then it's like all the changes I make for E.g adding buttons, adding new forms, adding pictures etc. will not happen, It will be the same way, I saved with the wav file , It;s like the Design Time Changes don't happen during Run time....

These wav files are like 35MB+

Any way which you can add mp3 file as a resource?
That way it would have been better, but don't think it's possible? :/

Actually you don't need to delete the 35MB wav file, just add a new wav file to resources. Take some wav file that is obviously ok, like ding.wav from the system files. In your code, change the name of the resource to My.Resources.Ding (or whatever) and see if it works. If it does, there is nothing wrong with your code but something wrong with the original file.

As far as I know an mp3 file has to be on disk so you can play with Windows Media Player, bass.dll etc. But someone else may know better.
