memory not being released

[gigel]

Hello all,

I have a winforms app running on framework v2.0.50727 which isn't not
releasing memory back to the OS after closing forms. Simple forms (a list +
button)
or complex ones (tabs, lots of text boxes, third party masked edit control)
behave the same way,
Every time is instantiated it allocates memory which never gets released.

The code sequence is
Dim frCustomer As New frmCustomer
...
custom code to populate form
....
frCustomer.ShowDialog()
frCustomer.Dispose()
If Not frCustomerIs Nothing Then frCustomer= Nothing

Where should I start troubleshooting? What am I doing wrong.

Thanks a million,

Gigel

You can find out if memory is really staying allocated and why

You might be missing disposing of components in your form. Check if you dont
have below code then add that to you form

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing && (components != null))
{
components.Dispose();
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
