VB.NET System Hardware Total and "free" memory.

[Michael]

How can I determine a users PC Total system memory and memory available or
free at the time of my program loading.

Thanks

Michael,

When you programming is processing the used memory is completly dynamical,
and therefore my question because I am curious about that, what is the
reason of your question?

The stress analysis program I am developing assembles a global matrix based
on the number of elements etc.

As the complexity of the problem increases so does the global array which is
solved by linear matrix algebra.

I wanted a method to be able to advise a user that there was sufficient
memory available or warn when the limit is being reached.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply I notice that API calls are needed. Does this mean
that VB.Net has no mechanism to read the total system memory

That's true.
