C# application requires more than 1.4GB WorkingSet.

[Guest]

Hello,
I am writing a C# console application in Dev Studio.NET (v1.1). Running on
XP Pro (SP2) and 2000 Server.

My application requires a lot of memory. I am running on a machine with 4GB
physical memory. However, when my application allocates more than ~1.4GB, I
receive an "Out of memory" exception.

I have tried to set the MaxWorkingSet for the process, but it still fails to
allocate more than ~1.4GB.

Note that each individual allocation is not huge. What can I do to increase
the maximum WorkingSet for the application?

Are you sure there's not a infinite loop happening?

What are you trying to do with so much memory? Are you loading complete
files into memory for a transform or something?

Just wondering what is that you are trying to do that needs so much memory?

I would suggest you to use .NET profiler and check with the problem.
