Is 22MB too big for dll file ?
Hi everybody
I have dll file with bunch of windows forms and it's pretty heavy about 22MB.
I just wonder how it could affect my application. Due to specification of application would be a little bit hard to spread these forms into different dll files. Each form is base on one mother form, but some forms have some unique elements that can’t be visible on other.
Should I do something with this 22MB or it doesn't matter as long everything works.
Thanks

My application has 10 product catalogs and this particular 22MB dll file contains components for one of the catalogs.
It is used only when user is using this specific catalog otherwise it is not used.

I have used DLL's with over 100MB in size (many resources inside it) without noticing any problems. The needed parts are paged in and out just as needed, so that there isn't a long load time nor does it block tham much physical memory. No problem.
22 MB is very less, the momory size has increased a lot,
But you have to check the client RAMs
and if it is resources i.e. images
They come and go if you are not loosing references in your application.. GC takes care of them
I mean, if you are not opening many images in one time in the application
