Memory limit for a new process

Hi,

I was trying to write an application which would start a new process. But
the problem is, I want to put a limit on the size of stack and heap for the
process. In case the given limit is exceeded, I would like the process to
terminate.

I guess, I should try using System.Diagnostics.Process class. There is
MaxWorkingSet property, but I am not sure, if that is what I need. And again,
it can only be set after the process is started -- not the thing I need.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Mantas

Well, it is sort of a testing system, or a judge, if you will. If you are
familiar with different programming competition, where your program gets a
set of input and must give a correct output, you should have a clear picture
of the purpose of my program.

Anyway, I have figured out that Process.PeakPagedMemorySize works more or
less the way I expect. But how do I get the value of this property, if my
process lasts for only 0.2 sec, or probably less?

The same problem with determening start time of the process.
