It should be further noted that calling System.GC.Collect() should be avoided if at all possible. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag/html/ scalenetchapt05.asp (Search for "Avoid Calling GC.Collect".) The short version is that .NET's GC system is self-tuning. Manually calling Collect() will alter its statistics, which can adversely affect application performance. - Jon _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
