Hi Bonny,

Paraphrasing a snip : 'instantiating a class from within itself could certainly lead to memory issues'

I don't think that's true. At least I can't think of a normal case where it would be a problem?

I'm not sure what your Dispose method is actually doing, because you don't say where curProc.MaxWorkingSet comes from. You've obviously gotten it from a current process somewhere, but I have no idea where. Possibly passed in from parameters? But since you don't show that code, I'm just guessing ...

>The Dispose method is supposed to dispose of resources. I'm not so sure that setting curProc.MaxWorkingSet back to what it was when you first instantiated the class actually releases any resources. I know nothing about this particular property, having never used this, but IntPtr does have a .Finalize() method on it, which according to the docs is supposed to release resources.
