                      I hate tracking down things like this. Not a good way to spend the day! This (among many others) is one of the reasons we use PCLint[^] to help check our code. It's awsome. The output by itself is not that friendly, but there are a number of tools that help present and filter the information for you in a much more useful manner.We use our own in house one. So much time can be wasted on small problems like these ones, so anything that helps us identify them, that has gotta be good. - Phil

                            I do indeed. :) If there's anything you need to know, feel free to ask. Our own stuff aside, we're developing quite an insight into how to tune PC-Lint to make the output useful...

                                In C#, the thing that has a destructor syntax is a finalizer. It is recommended to avoid manually adding one. But if you want to use the Dispose pattern you have to add one. Still whatever you do, you can't know when that memory will be released... (Which might be never, if you forget to let go of that reference)

                                  C++ is a sharp knife, so a little scratch on your finger might happen. Is C# as sharp as C++?
