How to free up memory - best method
-
I have a program that uses 4 different user controls that are loaded in a panel depending on what the user wants to do. I add each UserControl to the Controls collection of the panel, but each time I fire the event that adds the UserControl to the panel the memory usage of my application increases although I clear the Controls collection. I have managed to stop this by implementing this method in each UserControl:
public void Dispose() { Dispose(true); GC.SupressFinalize(this); }Is this the best method to handle this? -
