Hi all,

I would like to know how to be sure that calling the clear method of my hashtable frees memory from the objects inside.
For example I have:

MyHashTable.Add(mykey, new MyObject(...))
.....

and finally

MyHashTable.Clear(); //because I want to re-populate it again

This code erases all MyObject from memory?
If not, how can I do it?

Thanks

The Garbage Collector will dispose the objects when it needs to, and that may not be immediately after you call Clear(). You could however loop through the collection and call Dispose() on each object manually if the objects implement IDisposable.

Programming is an art that fights back.

Be aware that the garbage collection only applies to items in the Hashtable that are not also referenced elsewhere. That is, sometime after *all* references to the item are removed the item is garbage collected.

Thanks.

If I write a Dispose metod, what should I put in it to delete my object?
