Hi all
in my VB6 project, every function had a tidyup section at the end
(approximates to the "finally" contsruct in a try..catch block).
It did a SET OBJECT=NOTHING, for explicit memory release.
In .NET, is this totally redundant, and I'm best off letting the compiler
handle things ?
Thanks 4 919

Yes, however it is more the framework that handles this for you.
However closing on the right moment is something that can be very important
in dotNet.
(And there are some things that needs to be disposed. Think for that by
instance on bitmaps and connections when it is for a network with more than
100 connections to the database).

This was already superfluous in VB6 at the end of a function.

What should the compiler do?

You didn't have to do that if the variable ran out of scope.

In 99 percent of the cases, you don't need that, if the variable runs
out of scope or if you are assigning another reference to it. In many
cases, setting a variable to 'Nothing' is contra-productive.

It's a habit I was taught by the gurus where I used to work ... they had
memories of Win16 programming, and memory leaks, and made it a rule to
always explicitly release the reference ... they also sniffed at "Dim myObj
as new ..." and claimed that it should be "Dim myObj as thisClass/Set
myObj=New myClass" .... In .NET, is this totally redundant, and I'm best off letting the
compiler handle things ?

This is truly bizzare. I have a query that runs for hours in one Access db.
When I import it into another Access db, it runs in minutes. I compacted and
repaired the original, relinked tables etc. Nothing makes it run faster. I
have imported the query in several dbs. I did find another where it appeared
to run very long. Still in others it runs in minutes. Ideas?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
