The first time i start vs.net the used memory is 21.044 kb

after a while when i debug around here and there i noticed that it's been
growing upto 220.000 Kb


Is there a reason for this.

Hi

Debugging requires a lot of system resources (which includes creation of debug symbols , looking out for active breakpoints, watch, autos and locals). Hence the memory usage will be considerably higher when application is under a debug mode

So it means that every now and then i should close Vs
and restart?

Or is there another way to free thie memory ?
 
I've seen the same thing hapening.

The only thing I could think of that parts of the .Net framework are
cached (compiled) after first use.

Hello Richard,

Thanks for your post.

VS IDE will free the memroy after closing/re-opening the Solution (or
opening another Solution).

Hope this helps.
