Question Arrays, Memory and the GC

[Jauch]

I have a system that must do massive array operations.
Often I have many arrays with 1 to 2 million elements at same time.

Usually I create the arrays inside a procedure, so, I expect when the array variable goes out of scope, the array becomes available to the GC.
But in the near future, I'll need to do these operations in a "looping" way, so I'll create and delete the arrays many times...
.
Will GC free the memory associated to the arrays "in time" for the next loop or it is best to "force" it in someway, like using the erase statement?
.
Or maybe I'm completely wrong?
.
Thanks for any help with the clarification of this

You should not have to worry about any of this .NET cleans this up as it is needed. One of the Mods may have a more detailed explanation or a better answer but I do not think you will have to worry about this. I have never had this issue in .NET and have performed similar operations with very massive hashtables,collections, and 2 dimensional arrays.
