I'm working on a VB.Net project of about 35,000 lines (excluding all
those " Windows Form Designer generated code " ones). It's nothing
special, containing forms, user controls, access to a SQL 2000
database using Data Adapters, etc.
When I load the project, Task Manager indicates that devenv.exe is
using about 44MB of memory. This figure rises inexorably during
repeated iterations of the development, compile and run cycle until it
reaches about 180MB, at which point my machine has just about ground
to a halt. Closing the IDE and re-opening the project gets me back to
the 44MB point.
Is this normal? Have we forgotten to do some essential garbage
collection? Any suggestions or explanations would be welcome. It'd
never have happened in good old VB3. Those were the days.
