No, strictly it's not necessary as long as you're calling the close method.
The garbage collector will get around to deallocating it from memory
sometime after it goes out of scope.

I am using ADO.NET objects in my ASP.Net application.
I am using SQL Server connection object. Is it required to use set My
connectionObject = Nothing for ADO.Net ?
I am closing the connection using Close Method.
Thanks,
