Dear all,

I am writing an application which constructing a fairly big tree for
some financial pricing application. How can I increase the heap size
of the .NET runtime environment?

I have tried doing it in Java before which I can set use the /mx flag
in the java runtime. How to do equivalent thing in .NET or C#?

Thanks a lot.

How big is big?

The heap normally grows as needed, so you rarely have to do anything
about it's size.

..NET doesn't really have the equivalent of the maximum heap sizes in
Java. The CLR will take up as much space as you have virtual memory
(well, up to OS limits), but the garbage collector tries to reclaim
memory appropriately.
