Classes VB6 vs. VB.NET

[Soren Hyltoft]

In VB6 i use a Form and a Class module.

Dim MyClass as New Class1

In Form_Load:
Set MyClass = New Class1

In Form_Unload:
Set MyClass = Nothing

This works in VB6
But in .NET i can not destroy the class.
The class only destroys when i Close the application.
If i use the VB6 to .NET wizard, i get an upgrade note:

UPGRADE_NOTE: Object mycls may not be destroyed until it is garbage
collected. Click for more:

So how do i destroy a class in .NET

Thanks

Try using Marshal.ReleaseComObject:
