VC# express consumes a lot of memory

VC# express consumes a lot of memory

  I can repro this behavior. We'll need to investigate and get back to you. The issue with Document Explorer (dexplore) crashing is discussed in the Help and Documentation Forum at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=66&SiteID=1

  hello

  Good note connect2sandeep

  actualy i'm still learning but i have tried this. its not just the VCS , it also in the projects it acts the same way , when it starts it take a big amount of memory when you minimize it the size will be reduced and its not just C# but also VB

  best Regards

  this is an open note to VC# express team.. the memory leak is evident and the document explorer sometimes crashes. any comments

  Further observation:
  When VCSExpress starts up, it is using 20mb of memory with the default start page.
  After I open my last solution as mentioned above, it is now using 61mb of memory.
  After I minimize the window, it is now using 3mb of memory.
  After I restore the window, it is now using 15mb.
  
  I think this observation suggests something about the memory management. Some components do not release the memory at once after they are done, until the user minimizes the window.

  Similar observation is found again when I view my form designer (this action makes the memory goes up to 70mb from 25mb), then minimize the window (this drops to 3mb), and restore the window back (back to 20mb)

  I do not see many talking about the memory problem. Is this my own setting problem Any thoughts

  If you minimize it, does it still consume 100 MB

  I just found out my VC# has the same problem.

  I was working on a new window form project. I just added a tab page, a web browser, and changed some variables' names. Build the solution, run the form, close the form, and that is all. I did not even start writing any code. Then I was away to IM with friends and left the VC# window at the back.

  After half an hour, my machine became slower and slower. I wondered and found out VCSExpress.exe was eating up my memory and consuming 90mb of my memory.

  I minimized the window, the memory usuage dropped to around 3mb, but the usage was increasing even I do not touch the window, and now it has been increasing to 10mb (just few minutes passed).

  When I restore the window, I can see the memory usage is increasing too.

  Is this a memory leak somewhere Does anyone get the same problem

  I am using WinXP SP2, P4 3.0, 1G ram
