I have this application in VB.net, it's got a mainwindow that allows the user to do a search and when the SEARCH button is pressed the result is displayed in an MDI-child window. While watching Windows Task Manager and doing another 20 searches my application takes up over 100'000Kb of memory. Ok, it does have 20 MDI windows open with a datagrid on, so that might be fair(?).<br />
<br />
BUT, when closing all these MDI-childwindows, according to Task Manager it doesnt release any memory at all. So if I then start to go berserk on the SEARCH button again it takes up even more memory!<br />
<br />
It is still a very simple app, what should I do?<br />
<br />

Freeing memory when closing MDI window

Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
