Getting that exception when using under 3GB of memory suggests that you are running a 32-bit app. Build it as a 64-bit app and it will be able to use as much memory as is available (close to 8GB).
You need to profile the application, but the most common reason for these exceptions is excessive string creation. Also, excessive serialization can cause this and excessive Xslt transformations.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
