user control dispose never fires

[Guest]

vs2003 c# cf v1.0.5000
ive created a user control and it works wonderfully however, the dispose
method never fires. searched around, didnt see anything...

any ideas as to why it wouldnt fire, i have code in there that needs to
execute?

Dispose fires when the garbage collector runs. And you can't ever tell when
that may be. A minute after your object goes out of scope, or an hour, or a
day.

If you need it to get called right away, call Dipose yourself

The irony is not really appropriate. The IDisposable interface is designed
so that users of the object can PROGRAMATICALLY control when resources are
freed.

If you are worried only about the garbage collector, write a finalizer.
