Question Free memory of .net objects

[suresh_ed]

Am using lots of .Net and Indesign Objects in my StandAlone APplicataion.

My Application is crashing because of memory usage [Memory allocation and deallocation].

Will it deallocate if i use the following for the object:

Object=nothing

Please suggest how to free memory of .net and Indesign objects and for which i will have to free memory.

You need to read documentation of "garbage collection in .net" and try to implement this.

Deallocate the variable reference, yes. Free memory, perhaps/usually not right away, and in some cases some resources will not free if you do this.

You need to read documentation of "garbage collection in .net" and try to implement this.

Agree, here are some relevant help topic links:
Object Lifetime: How Objects Are Created and Destroyed
Garbage Collection
Automatic Memory Management

In short, you need to call Dispose method if object expose this, sometimes a Close can be used instead. Using Statement (Visual Basic) is a simplification that is useful sometimes.

When writing your own classes you have to decide if implementing IDisposable is necessary to free memory usage/resources, this will expose the Dispose method for consumers of your class. The ideas are the same as with local memory consumption, close/dispose where necessary, dereference variables with long lifetime, clear large fields/collections, etc.

Some memory profilers maybe helpful too.

Actually what is happening in my system the CPU Usage is going more than 100% sometimes and that time it is crashing.
Please suggest why it is happening.
