This gets or sets the maximum amount of memory allowed in memory for the given Process.

Not yet, at least in the .NET base class library. In .NET 2.0 they have introduced several new control classes, including a GridView[^] which supports virtual lists, which is to what you're referring. There's nothing from stopping you now (there was a good article a LONG time ago about how to do this even in DHTML), but the burden is on you unless you want to buy a commercial solution like a couple from ComponentOne[^]. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Anyway, in that movie (which is set some time in the future) at one point they talk about going to the Arnold Schwarzenegger Presidental Library! It was a funny line at the time, but now it's starting to look like life imitating art! As soon as I heard about Arnie, I thought of this movie.. It makes my chuckle... "The Schwarzenegger Presidential Library" just sounds weird. The kindest thing you can do for a stupid person, and for the gene pool, is to let him expire of his own dumb choices.

So you didn't get to the c++ part of the deal...too bad. Regards, Kannan

:)...that was a great encouragement...I am @ US Software, Nila (not sure whether we'd be shifted to Bhavani though). The initial project will fortunately be in C#. C# Winforms using crystal reports or something. And I suppose I could study vb.net side-by-side somehow and get ready if it comes up. Thanks a lot... :) Rakesh Rajan
