Memory problems

Hi!

Sometimes i have memory problem when my program wants to access an sql mobile database.
SqlXXXdll could not be loaded...please reintsall it...

I used .Net Compact Framework Remote Performance Monitor but it was not so helpful to find the memory
problem.

After that i tried dumpmem utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;326164
and i really see there is no more memory above the heap:

2EACF000 1000 F NA <-- the free space between the dlls and the heap
2EAD0000 1000 R NA Image <-- and this is where the first non xip dll starts

What i dont understand is there are a lot of big free blocks in the heap (31000 == 196KB), i called the
GC.Collect and the GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers but its not shrinked physically (maybe just logically).

1) Is there any solution to remove this big free gaps in the heap area?
2) Is there any solution to determine what are these big blocks in the heap 97000 == 600Kb. (Ok i know code review)
I load more 40 png pictures and maybe they consumes a lot of mem.
3) Is there any solution to analyze memory more deep with any tool?

Thanks for help!

what is the purpose for load 40 pictures

do not load them once, because they consumes the memory.

just load them one by one ....

advice:

do not work with GC, let the system do it normally

|||1. ok it doesnt need to load every pics at once but i have a form where i need 20 icon (i use it dynamically)
2. i dont work with gc just checked what occurs with the heap in the real memory

I dont know why was this post answer to my question...
