I noted when I exit from my .NET CF based application (on my Pocket PC
device) there's less free RAM than before to launch my application: why?

When you exit from an application all the resources (memory included) should
be (forcing) released so I suppose to find about the same free RAM, but
there's until to -3 Mb of free RAM.

My hypotize is Windows CE OS sometimes keeps .NET CF environment (GIT?..)
loaded into RAM because it could be used by another .NET CF based
application.

1) what about it?
2) could you kindly test if this is true for your .NET CF based
applications?

Thanks,

Mhaxx

The CLR does not staty "loaded" if no app is using it, so my bet ias that
your app is still running, maybe a worker thread, maybe you're just
minimized. Use the remote process viewer and look.
