Hi, Maybe you can achieve the effect you want by only putting weak references to those objects in your collection. Then, you could iterate over your collection periodically looking for dead weak references and purge those then. Of course, you may have to have some sort of management appended to the collection to make sure the objects are alive when you need them. But, at least you won´t have to modify the contained objects at all.
