Why do you want the object deleted?

If you are using some unmanaged resources that you need to release, implement the IDisposable interface.

But the destructor (or Finalizer as it is also called) won't run until the garbage collector does. And then when a destructor is in place it slows garbage collection down because it has additional code to run.

Are you just copying what ever looks the more convincing answer so far?

To re-emphasise what Guffa said. If you have unmanaged resources, or otherwise use objects that also implement IDisposable then you should implement IDisposable to free up or dispose of those resources. If those conditions are not met then let the garbage collector do its job - it is better at it than anyone else.

The reason for this explicit object release is in our application in we are creating n number of objects for a specific operation after that operation is finished we no longer require thise objects

We thought that the performance would be better if we explicitly release objects than waiting for the GC to do at later stages!

So the answer is ti implement IDisposable! thank you!

Depends. Do you have objects that already implement IDisposable to dispose of in the object, or do you manage any unmanaged resources in the object? If the answer is no to either then IDisposable won't do anything for you.

Remember, the Garbage Collector knows more about the system state and when it would be an opportune moment to garbage collect things than you do because it can constantly fine tune itself.

Hi there,
You can use the CarbageCollection static class of the framework.
System.GC.Collect();
See msdn for more info http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.gc.aspx[^]

This is almost always a bad idea as it ultimately ends up slowing down your application.

I Totaly agree with you there, but since he needs (for some reason) to force the GarbageCollector to collect, this is the way.;)

What you want to do is unclear. Can you be more specific?

So you want to create an Outlook Add-in or want to open an Outlook window from your application?

Well if you want to use Outlook's objects from your application, you will have to add a reference to the Outlook Object Model and the Microsoft Office API to your application to use it.

OutlookCode.com[^]

else just use ShellExecute to start the Outlook executable.

Hope this helps. Smile | :)
