Restore the app, look at the memory! Why does it take SO much memory to "launch" yet when restored, it's significantly less. For example, I launch a basic app, it honkers almost 30 megs, minimi ...Show All

  My visual basic windows form application calls a local web service I created on my computer. I have added a wsdl file to my windows form application which exposes the web service.

Also, I would rather not resort to wrapping try/catch b ...Show All
