  Is there a way that I can access the page file, or the page file usage of my Windows XP system For some reason my app uses alot of RAM, and I was wondering, if it's possible to access the page file, so that I can basically capture a snapshot of the page file, or bookmark it at a point, and after I ran a specific function, which I know that uses a lot of RAM, and then just basically do a rollback ones the function has finished executed.

• Visual C# GUI Problem

  I made a nice looking C# Gui. However, when I run the application on my coworker's laptop the layout is not correct and and when I resize it is very wrong! I tried changing display settings and was able to get the gui working after changing the DPI setting (although this didn't work on his laptop but rather on another...it still won't work on his). What is going on here Why is this an issue It's hard to guess what the problem might be without more details. Could you link to some screenshots It would be useful to see: a. What the GUI looks like on your system b. What it looks like on your coworker's laptop c. What it l ...Show All

• Windows Forms Saving Local Files from my Program

  Hi all, I have a full-trust application that I have successfully deployed with ClickOnce. Deployment and updates work perfectly, so that's not what this post is about. My problem is ClickOnce-related, though, so I thought I'd post here rather than in the Windows Forms group. The application saves thumbnails of images from the web in a local folder, and references them by filename in a WebBrowser component (in <img> tags). Currently I'm using a subfolder of the "Application Data" folder (Environment.SpecialFolders.ApplicationData) to store the thumbnails, but I realise now that this is less-than-ideal, since the folder and its conten ...Show All
