I understand that with SetProcessWorkingSetSize( GetCurrentProcess(), -1, -1 ); I can clear memory. But I want to RESTRICT memory for a process. Supose that i have Process.Start("array.exe"); That program ( array.exe ) uses up to 4MB memory, and I want to not allow to use more than 2MB. When the program exceeds 2 MB, I want to stop the process. Is that possible ? A code please, please, please?
