Phil has the right of it. SetProcessWorkingSetSize(hProcess, (SIZE_T)-1,
(SIZE_T)-1) is a moderately well-known trick for making desktop apps be
better citizens.

It's a very old Windows trick. Basically, all it's doing is calling
"EmptyWorkingSet" on minimise - you can call those APIs yourself if you
want to. I do in my projects, especially the ones that work on Terminal
Services.
[DllImport("psapi.dll", SetLastError=true)] private static extern int
EmptyWorkingSet(IntPtr Process);

The same happens with Excel, maybe some new coding standard in
Redmond...?
btw: The wm size is not reduced much.

I can't stop minimizing and restoring. It's crazy.

Hey, what an insane but great trick. I was watching my own devenv hang
out at about 279,000 k and it just went down to 27K after minimizing.
I'm still biting my tongue over the "just change everything to C#"
"solution"....

That's a good trick.. I just did that and my memory consumption went
from 189MB of RAM to 17MB.

Try minimizing Visual Studio then restoring to see if the
memory usage
goes now noticably when you find its memory usage to be high.

Hello all.
I have a quite big probelm with Visual Studio 2005. I
program in Visual
Basic and VS consumes all my memory, both RAM and virtual.
I monitor
devenv.exe process in Task Manager. When I start VS and load
a solution
(it's not so big), it occupies aproximatly 130 MB of RAM and
the same
amount of virtual memory. As I work, both of them goes up.
And I do
just simple things .. say I have 4 tabs with source code
opened and I
edit one of them. Occupied memory raises and very soon (up
to 1 hour)
the devenv.exe process has all RAM memory (I have 512 MB in
system and
the process takes cca 350 MB) and even all virtual memory
(about 1 GB).
I have to turn VS on and off, because otherwise it crashes.
:-( I don't
need to say you that work is very slow and restarting VS
is annoying.
At home I have the same problem with Visual Basic 2005 Express.
Did anybody encounter this problem? Thanks a lot for any response.
Some technical info:
Visual Studio: VS 2005 Professional Edition, Version 8.0.50727.42
Framework: 2.0.50727
Language: Visual Basic
Hardware: AMD Sempron 2800+ (2 GHz), 512 MB RAM
Stano
PS: Well. I know, 512 MB of RAM is not too much fo VS and
very soon I
will get 1 GB, but I don't thing that it will solve my problem.
