How to Work with Gabrage Collector

[João Santa Bárbara]

hi all, i´m noobie in .Net, and i need to know how to work with the cargabe
collector.

as an example
i have a button´s click event
with this code ..

private sub Button_EventClick (.....)
Dim frm as New frmForm ()
Frm.MdiParent = me
frm.show
end sub

after that, when do i call the garbage colector ?? if i don´t have access to
the form ?
my problem is that i have an aplication that comsumes lots of memory
i need todo some procedures to get more free memory.

You don't need to call the garbage collector explicitly, it runs
automatically when your application needs to free up some memory. Check out
this article for more information on how the garbage collection system
works.
