    <p>I am trying to get the available memory in a process to ensure I do not get an OutOfMemoryException. I have searched the internet and found several examples of how to get memory <em>used</em> but not <em>available</em>.</p> <p>Let me provide the use case...</p> <p>I have a process that is doing a Bulk Insert (using SqlBulkCopy). I am passing a <code>DataTable</code> into the <code>WriteToServer</code> method. I cannot use a <code>DataReader</code> because I have to be able to retry the process upon failure. My first thought was to pick an arbitrary number of rows to insert at a time, say 50,000. But this is a generic process that does not know the data; it does not know the number of columns nor the amount of data in each row. So I was thinking I could monitor the memory as I am adding rows to the <code>DataTable</code> and then post it to the <code>SqlBulkCopy</code> when it got close to running out of memory. </p> <p>Is this a valid approach or is there a better way?<br> If this is a valid approach, what function would I use to determine the amount of available memory?</p> <p>Here is my code so far... The <code>AvailableMemoryIsLow</code> is what I cannot figure out how to determine.</p> <pre><code>// m_buffer is a read-once cache (implements IDataReader) that pulls // data from an external source as needed so it uses very little memory. // My original implementation just used m_buffer as the parameter of // WriteToServer but now I have to add retry logic into the process. DataTable dataTable = new DataTable(m_tableName); foreach (DataField d in m_buffer.GetColumns()) dataTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(d.FieldName, d.FieldType)); while (m_buffer.Read()) { DataRow row = dataTable.NewRow(); for (int i = 0; i &lt; m_buffer.FieldCount; i++) row[i] = m_buffer.GetValue(i); dataTable.Rows.Add(row); // How do I determine AvailableMemoryIsLow if (rowCount++ &gt;= 50000 || AvailableMemoryIsLow) { PutDataIntoDatabase(dataTable); dataTable.Clear(); rowCount = 0; } } if (dataTable.Rows.Count &gt; 0) PutDataIntoDatabase(dataTable); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
