Your VB .NET App taking up too much memory??

[LeeSalter]

Use this to clean it up....very,very useful.

Public Class MemoryManagement
 
    Private Declare Function SetProcessWorkingSetSize Lib "kernel32.dll" ( _
  ByVal process As IntPtr, _
  ByVal minimumWorkingSetSize As Integer, _
  ByVal maximumWorkingSetSize As Integer) As Integer
 
    Public Shared Sub FlushMemory()
        GC.Collect()
        GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers()
        If (Environment.OSVersion.Platform = PlatformID.Win32NT) Then
            SetProcessWorkingSetSize(Process.GetCurrentProcess().Handle, -1, -1)
        End If
    End Sub
 
End Class

I found the above on the net because my DataGrid driven application was simply taking up too much memory on the client pc's.

I put this class into my project and call the FlushMemory function after each time a user fills a DataSet....my apps memory usage went from 30,000KB to less than 5,000KB!
