This object has been marked for clearance. However AFAIK, the Garbage Collector will not clear the object immediately. It will do so when it feels the need to do so.

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.

I waited for long time, but the memory does not get disposed.

In my case, I have to dynamically create the instanse of Window Media Player.
And Finally, it crashes, due to Memory Out of Exception

Please help
