I am new to .NET programming, and now I am developing a computer system for monitoring the health of a computer, which is now in its infancy. I will use C # 2010 and request computer information using WMI queries.
Before I could continue developing the application, I created a mini-test application to test my classes and its methods. The flow of the test application is as follows:
- Application launch
- Enter host name, username and password
- the query button is pressed and query methods are started.
- The text box in my user interface is updated by printing the result of the requests.
I have a class called "Machine" that contains properties such as the name of the processor and some properties that can be updated, such as the current CPU usage. In this class, I have 2 main methods: GetStaticSysInfo and GetDynamicSysInfo, where the first method requests system information that does not change over time, and the later method requests information such as CPU and memory usage. I have another method called Refresh that I use to bypass the GetDynamicSysInfo method.
Since I use WPF for my user interface, I used DispatcherTimer to periodically query the machine and print the updated information to a text field in the user interface after clicking the Query button. However, I noticed that every time I called machine.Refresh (), the memory usage in the application increased by several (several hundred KB). I cannot understand what happened to the program, and I would appreciate that someone could give some advice on this.
Please let me know if you need more information or any parts of the code.
Thanks in advance.
