Reduce Memory Footprint??

I have a small basic program that I made a couple years ago in Visual Basic 6 which I opened in .NET and it runs fine. The only problem I see is that the process for the VB6 version was somewhere around 3,500 K and the new one from .NET runs at about 10,500 K. I also totally reprogrammed a new version from scratch in .NET and it also runs at around 10,500 K.

Is there anything I can prune from the .NET build that would lower the process memory footprint?? Or do .NET apps just take more memory to run?

Thanks

I find that .net apps usually take up loads of memory according to the task manager.

As long as your code is efficient, you shouldn't worry about it.

That's the nature of .Net Framework.

Anyway you may save small ammount of memory by using inline and direct values rather than declaring several variables and using them.

The amount of memory you would save doing that would be negligible. Anyway, I can't think of a reason that would happen anyway, thats what constants are for.

Never use numeric literals in code, always use constants.
