I am using VS 2008 Professional (VB) and find several times a day I get an 'Out of memory' error when working in the design environment I have to close VS then restart When I check the processes (ctrl-alt-delete) it shows devenv.exe mem usage as high as 800MB Has anybody else experienced this?

Is there any chance you could add more RAM? (And what it shows for memory in task manager is not the whole story anyway.) Andrew Steve
I never had that on any machine or OS (I had stack overflows, but Herfried knows why) can you give us a little bit the specs of the computer and OS you are using including SP's. Taskmanager says nothing, Internet is full of messages which shows that Taskmanager is something typical for the end-user to get an idea. Cor Hi All
Some more info I am using Windows XP Professional SP2, Visual Studio 2008 SP1 on a Core2 Duo 2.4G computer with 4GB Ram I have no add-ins installed When I do a Google search there are numerous sites with comments about the same problem It is worse when I am doing work on any xml page (e.g Project datasources) Regards Steve Show quoteHide quote "Steve" <ga630sf@nospam.nospam> wrote in message news:eotWHg23JHA.1380@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hi All > > I am using VS 2008 Professional (VB) and find several times a day I get an > 'Out of memory' error when working in the design environment > > I have to close VS then restart > > When I check the processes (ctrl-alt-delete) it shows devenv.exe mem usage > as high as 800MB > > Has anybody else experienced this? > > Regards > Steve > Hi Steve,
It doesn't happen when you have the XML viewer open does it? That thing is awful for viewing large amounts of XML data and will crash Visual Studio quite easy, unless you have the patience to wait a year for it start responding again. Nick.

It sounds unusual to run out of memory if you have 4GB of RAM. So what type of the solution / projects are you working on? What's the size of the XML document you were editing? Is there a specific operation that will trigger the Out of Memory error or it just happens randomly? Please let me know and I'll see how can I help.

Hi Jie
I am working on a Windows forms application in VB 2008 on Net Framework 2.0 The out of memory issue happens when I am moving through different forms in design mode i.e I double click on the form in the Solution Explorer to open it I try to keep the number of open forms to a minimum but that makes no difference My Dataset.designer.vb file is about 4MB This memory issue happens when I don't even have the XML file open I do use some DevExpress windows forms components in my application, but the memory issue was occurring before I started using the Devexpress components regards Steve ""Jie Wang [MSFT]"" <jie***@online.microsoft.com> wrote in message Show quoteHide quote news:48JH6eC4JHA.5720@TK2MSFTNGHUB02.phx.gbl... > Hi Steve, > > It sounds unusual to run out of memory if you have 4GB of RAM. > > So what type of the solution / projects are you working on? > > What's the size of the XML document you were editing? > > Is there a specific operation that will trigger the Out of Memory error or > it just happens randomly? > > Please let me know and I'll see how can I help. > > Thanks, > > Jie Wang (jie***@online.microsoft.com, remove 'online.') > > Microsoft Online Community Support > > Delighting our customers is our #1 priority.

Besides the dataset, how may projects are there in your solution file, and how many items are there in each project? For the most complex winform in your project, how many controls are there? I'm trying to understand the scale of your solution and see if I can manage to reproduce the problem. If the problem is really urgent, you can also contact Microsoft Customer Support Services for real-time or phone-based help.

Steve,
What is your Memory Load Percentage? Here's a console utility to print it out: ' File: MemLoad.vb imports System.Runtime.InteropServices Module module_memoryload structure MEMORYSTATUSEX public Length as Integer public MemoryLoad as Integer public TotalPhys as LONG public AvailPhys as LONG public TotalPageFile as LONG public AvailPageFile as LONG public TotalVirtual as LONG public AvailVirtual as LONG public AvailExtendedVirtual as LONG End Structure Declare Function GlobalMemoryStatusEx lib "kernel32" _ (ByRef ms As MEMORYSTATUSEX) As Boolean sub main(ByVal args() As String) dim ms as new MemoryStatusEx ms.Length = Marshal.Sizeof(ms) if GlobalMemoryStatusEx(ms) then Console.WriteLine("- Memory Load: {0}%", ms.MemoryLoad) end if end sub end Module I often tell my customers to look at their memory loads (and show them via our server's tray status box) to provide a top level approximation of the stress of their system. The lower the better. If its high, and especially persistently high, you really means that you need more memory, including possibly a better video card, better tuned page files, caches, etc, all that make up the total physical memory of the system. GUI is a big part of this. Whats high? Well, for me, anything over 40%. It make work for you, but the machine and OS is stressing (machine is grinding with faults and page swapping) to work. What I am saying, look at the memory load and its high, it really means you need to look at the performance of the hardware, more memory might do it, but it might also mean a better video interface card, including possible faster drives. -- Show quoteHide quoteSteve wrote: > Hi Jie > > I am working on a Windows forms application in VB 2008 on Net Framework 2.0 > > The out of memory issue happens when I am moving through different forms in > design mode > i.e I double click on the form in the Solution Explorer to open it > > I try to keep the number of open forms to a minimum but that makes no > difference > > My Dataset.designer.vb file is about 4MB > > This memory issue happens when I don't even have the XML file open > > I do use some DevExpress windows forms components in my application, but the > memory issue was occurring before I started using the Devexpress components > > regards > Steve >
