Flush Virtual Memory?

[munkee]

Alright,
So I've been having issues with my application lately; as some of you might have read in my previous post.

I've gotten my application to flush memory using GC.Collect() - awesome! Now, how would I go about doing the same with my Virtual Memory? Is this even possible?

Maybe I'll soon get a good nights rest!

I still haven't figured this out; is there any possible way I can get some guidance here?


Thanks!

This may do the trick for you...

Public Class MemoryFlusher
  
  Private Declare Function SetProcessWorkingSetSize Lib "kernel32.dll" ( _
    ByVal process As IntPtr, _
    ByVal minimumWorkingSetSize As Integer, _
    ByVal maximumWorkingSetSize As Integer) As Integer

  Public Shared Sub FlushMemory()
    GC.Collect()
    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers()
    If (Environment.OSVersion.Platform = PlatformID.Win32NT) Then
      SetProcessWorkingSetSize(Process.GetCurrentProcess().Handle, -1, -1)
    End If
  End Sub

End Class

Note though... according to documentation this may cause unexpected behaviour...
