Hello, I'm taking a stab at windows services for the first time. My windows service is written in vb.net (not my lang of choice but I have to go with the flow of the department). It is running a once a day timer that calls several stored procs and depending on the size of the returned values(s) sends out emails.
Now for my questions. Can I expect Windows Services in .Net to have a considerable memory foot print? I check and rechecked the closure of my only dataset and datareader objects. I have also set them to nothing when I have finished using them. This service is only called once a day. When it first started it uses a woping 7MB of RAM...then on first execution it uses 18MB and this stays constant execution after execution. I monitored the size hoping the garbage collector might help me out but to noavail. I do not implement IDispose if that helps. thanks in advance for any advice!
