Simulating a memory exception

[GT500Shlby]

I am designing an automated form in VB.NET. On windows XP, I want to generate a memory exception to test how the program will handle it. Also, I wan't to have the program run under extreme memory circumstances and see if it generates an exception.

 

Is this possible at all?

Throw New OutOfMemoryException()

 

That's how to generate the exception, if you're talking about actually bringing your system to its knees with excess memory consumption, I don't know what to suggest apart from writing a program that uses progressively more and more of it without releasing any.

That's perfect! Thanks.
