.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / November 2007How to determine Available memory
How do I determine the available amount of memory in a Pocket PC (code example)? I need to check if there is space enough for saving data before doing it. Thanks Ole So, you don't want to know the amount of available memory, but the amount of available disk space? I'm not sure that you will ever be able to reliably predict ahead of time whether X is enough memory to save a file of size Y or not. You have to deal with cluster sizes, just like you do on the desktop when saving to disk. You can take a look at GetDiskFreeSpaceEx() in the C SDK. You should be able to P/Invoke to that. Probably the 'right' way is to just try to save and, if you get a disk-full exception, report that to the user or take suitable automatic action as a result. I don't see DriveInfo in .NET Compact Framework, so I think that P/Invoking is probably going to be necessary.
