Thanks for your reply Jun.
But as you wrote:
Jun Du wrote: Exactly, your existing shell won't see env variables created after the shell started. Try to run cmd.exe again on the existing command shell window and see if you can see the new env settings.
I have triede this, but it seems that a new cmd.exe inherits the environment from the old one, so it did not help at all.
In my search after a solution I found:
[^]
But even this have the same problem as I. When you call it from a cmd.exe the same problem arise, I can't access a variable newly created, but I can see it in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
So the big question, what is the trick to get it visible in the current environment?

Not sure if this is what you want, but give a try to Win32 call SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, ...), which can change your desktop wallpaper.
Best,

Actually I have seen this with non-.NET programs as well. When an app gets minimized Windows can swap out memory that is not needed and free things up. I just did this with Word and it went down to 1-2M when minimized and then back up to about 5M when it is brought back up front. Another app that we run here at work went from 18M while it was running, down to 1-2M when minimized and then back up to 6M when it was opened again. This definately is not anything to do with .NET itself.

On minimize, two things happen. THe first is that the framework releases most of the extra memory it's allocated from the OS to cover against future requests. Since form initialization uses alot more memory than is needed during runtime, apps that don't substantially increase the ammount of data in ram after loading the form tend to have a large amount of extra availabl. The amount held is determined by the framework, and is partially dependent on how much the system has available. The reason for de/allocating in large chunks rather than small ones is that getting memory from the OS is a costly operation. A system wide memory shortage will cause the OS to send 'return extra memory' messages and do the same thing. The second is that most of the app is moved from system to virtual memory. On restore, the code is only moved out of VM on an as needed basis.

PS Your apps memory usage isn't much higher than mine which runs happily on an NT4/p3-500/256mb testbox, unless your client machines are substantially older or already heavily burdened with other apps you shouldn't have a problem.

The 'Mem Usage' column in Task Manager is actually the current working set size. The working set is the set of physical memory pages which the OS thinks are currently necessary to run the program. Periodically, about once a second, a thread in the OS called the balance set manager wakes up and trims (removes) pages from each working set on the system, to ensure that there are always enough free physical pages of memory to satisfy demand. There is also an upper limit of working set size for each process, which is defaulted to about 1.5MB, but this is really an advisory limit - if there are enough free pages, this number is ignored. You can set your process's limits with the SetProcessWorkingSetSize function, but there's no benefit in doing so.
When the USER subsystem minimizes a window, it automatically asks the operating system to trim the process's working set, since the assumption is that you aren't going to be using it again straight away. You can get the same effect by calling SetProcessWorkingSetSize, passing -1 for both minimum and maximum working set size parameters.
Pages are added to the working set by allocating them, or, after they've been trimmed, by accessing them. If your program has good locality of reference, the working set will normally stay quite low.
To see how much load you're putting on both physical memory and the page file, enable the VM Size column. This is equivalent to the Process: Private Bytes counter in the Performance tool (in Administrative Tools).
The .NET Framework manages all your allocations from a set of virtual memory allocations. The garbage collector generally just moves data around within the existing allocations, until its newest generation becomes full, at which point it will ask the OS for a new block (referred to as a segment). If it does have a completely free segment after performing a collection, it may return it to the OS - this is the only way that the VM Size column will go down.
To keep the size of the GC heap down, ensure that you're getting rid of your objects promptly. If an object implements the IDisposable interface, or otherwise offers a Close or Dispose method, you must call it when you're finished with the object. If you don't, when the GC runs (and the object has a finalizer) it will go onto a queue (called freachable) for the finalizer thread to run the finalizer. The memory will only be released back to the GC heap when the GC runs again to collect the older generation that the object is now in, after its finalizer has run.
Other things to do are to simply allocate fewer objects. .NET applications can often be 'object-happy' - it's so easy to create an object that it is often done without thinking. To see how many objects you're allocating, and where you're allocating them, run CLR Profiler[^] (for 1.1[^]).
For more on how the GC works, see Maoni Stephens' weblog[^] and this presentation[^] (PPT, 401kB) from PDC 2005.

The responses by Dan and Mike are absolutely correct. You also should not rely on GC.Collect, as it interferes with the natural GC collection schedule, which can actually hurt your application performance. The GC runs on its own thread and actually freezes your applications main thread while it is running. Instead of calling GC.Collect when the child form is closed, you really should be calling the Dispose method of the form.
In addition to the blog mentioned, you can check http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/idisposable.asp[^] for an explanation on how to implement the Dispose pattern.

I know that value type variables are stored in stack and ref variables are stored in managed heap. I wanted to know why.
Thanks in advance

|
|
|

In most cases (not within classes), ref variables are on the stack as well. They refer to objects allocated on the managed heap.

I think you mean "value objects" and "reference objects".

Reference types (e.g. objects) are always stored in the heap.
Value types declared inside a class is stored inside the object data on the heap.
Value types declared as local variables in a method are stored on the stack.
If reference types would be stored on the stack, they would live exactly as long as the method call where they are created. They could not be freed earlier and not survive after. Also the stack has a limited size (2 MiB by default, IIRC) and can not be expanded at runtime.
If local variables would be stored on the heap, it would mean that most method calls would allocate memory on the heap, vastly increasing the heap turnover and adding a lot of overhead.

hi
i have developed a test page in asp.net 2.0 (VS 2005), and tried to hold it on my domain. it is a simple page with three textbox and a button, web.config is also default, but it gives error

Since this element is new in .NET 2.0, that would suggest that your host server hasn't been upgraded to support .NET 2.0 and the server is trying to run your page with the .NET 1.1 runtime.
You need to get the server upgraded with .NET 2.0.

Go ahead and try yourself first. If you encounter specific questions, post them here and some of us may be able to help.

to all d wizards out there:
I have a problem here with regards to Axis Web Service. I have an ASP.Net Web Application and I have to pass values on An Axis Web Service that has been created... Can somebody tell me what to do with regards to this...
Thanks a lot..

By passing data do you mean invoking a method? There should be no problem for an ASP.net web application to consume a web service that is being hosted on tomcat(or any java server) through axis. All you need to do is add the URL of the web services WSDL to the web application to the 'web references' part of your solution tree.
