Releasing Resources

[062699]

Hi All,
Thank you in advance. I am having trouble releasing resources when I open a child form. Please see the code below.

Form f;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    f = new Form2();
    f.FormClosed += new FormClosedEventHandler(childForm_FormClosed);
    f.Show();
}
 
private void childForm_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
    f.Dispose();
    f = null;
}
 
 

When I use ANTS profiler, it appears references to form2 are still active after I close form2. The live object count goes down but not as much as I would expect. The type of objects that are "living" are things like decimal, string, size, color, ..... Even if I force a GC they are "live".

Am I missing something here.

Thanks again.
