Memory Usage from Task Manager
-
hello I don't understand this, my app is perfectly not leaking memory and responsively and Task Manager "Detail" tab shows my app is consuming stead 350MB (I checked, update speed is Normal, so I am not looking at some stale counter) on this machine with 3900MB (i.e. almost 4GB) Now, how come, when I close my process, the memory usage drops from 70% to 30%!?! Right away! as reported on Task Manager!? A 40% drop on this 3900GB machine is 1560MB - that's four times memory I am using. What am I reading here...? Thanks in Advance

First, STOP using Task Manager to tell you how much memory your .NET app is using. It's telling you how much memory the .NET CLR has RESERVED for your app, not how much it's actually using. This has been documented countless thousands of times all over the web. I know I've posted the explanation dozens of times here on CP. .net memory task manager[^]

You already got the "second", I just didn't specify it.

Google is only as useful as the person using (or NOT using) it. If you can't do research and teach yourself, you're screwed in this business.

Funny you should say that...but it has nothing to do with ME being a sour old man.

Hey, I only speak the truth. If you can't handle it, don't be whiny about it and go get some ice cream yourself.
