Re: Memory Leak?

I changed it to:
        Do
            System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents()
            Thread.Sleep(55)
            GC.Collect()
        Loop Until _KeyEntered >= 0

This helped but it still increased Mem Usage as time went on.

Any help on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I agree that it is not due to the code sample provided in isolation.
Whenever we need an idle loop we use a similar loop (with Sleep(55)),
and when it is worth suggesting we know it would be a good time to do
a GC.Collect we include that too.
