I have an out of memory exception using C# when reading in a massive file
I need to change the code but for the time being can I increase the heap size (like I would in Java) as a shaort term fix?

.Net does that automatically.
Looks like you have reached the limit of the memory one .Net process can use for its objects (on 32 bit machine this is 2 standard or 3GB by using the /3GB boot switch. Credits to Leppie & Eric Lippert for the info).
Rethink your algorithm, or perhaps a change to a 64 bit machine might help.
