Answer 1

You might want to look into using PublicDomain. It is a library that exposes a lot of lower level capabilities, such as spawning processes with memory limits. There is actually a CodeProject article that describes how to do exactly that with PublicDomain:

Answer 2

Have at look at the machine.config file in

%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework[version]\CONFIG

The memoryLimit attribute controls the percentage of physical memory that a process is allowed to consume. I know this is not exactly what you are looking for but the closest I could find.
