  • How to display many pictures and avoid huge memory consumption?

    Almost a 100 PictureBox components on a Windows form's form eats around 300
    Mb of RAM. How to work around this?

    If you're displaying them as thumbnails/previews, then generate smaller
    images for them as thumbnails/previews. Don't directly display the source images. Especially if the source images are large.

    I didnrCOt say how bad it was. You were the one complaining about how
    much memory it was using, not me. It is that bad.

    Do you think that debating here about how good or bad Windows is
    can possibly lead to a meaningful outcome? I suggest dropping
    the discussion.
