visual studio - Setting C# Memory Parameters

Question

While I am still new to C# I'm curious if there is a way to tell windows that it needs to set aside X memory to run this application.

While debugging (F5) I occasionally get a random "error writing to protected memory" notice, and it's usually fine for a bit after I restart the version of Visual Studio. Once in a while it takes a windows Reboot. So I'm assuming I need to specify somewhere a larger memory size for windows to set aside and then collect later.

Thoughts?

That's not a matter of specifying more memory. That sounds like either you've hit some corner case in the CLR, or you're using some unmanaged code which is misbehaving, or you've got some bad memory.

Do you ever see this problem when not debugging? Is it usually around the same area of code?
