Disposeing an object

[JuggaloBrotha]

how do i dispose of an object when i remove it from the form's controls collection?

right now i use Me.Controls.RemoveAt(intStartSnake) to remove it, so objects are being added and removed every second, but that chews up huge amounts of memory cause even though the object isnt "on the form" it's still in memory until the game is exited

Controls inherit the Dispose() method from System.ComponentModel.Component. This method releases all resources used by the Component.

so then would Me.Controls(intstartSnake).Dispose work? (i'm not at home right now)

Yes it will, including removing the control from the Form.
