Hello my friends,
I have to get memory information like total size in console application. GlobalMemoryStatusEx function can be used for doing this, but it is applied only to desktop apps by msdn. When I use this function in console application, too many errors occurs. Is there any way to get ram size? Please help me. Thanks.

GlobalMemoryStatusEx() can be used with console applications. When the MSDN indicates a function for desktop only this means that it is not available for Metro/mobile apps.

If you got errors you should check your code. A common error is forgetting to set the size member of the passed structure (dwLength with MEMORYSTATUSEX).
