Those lines will do pretty much nothing, semantically speaking. Usually when you dispose or "close" something in general it's a good idea to assign null to it, but usually that's more in the case of object fields when that object may still exist for a while. This allows the GC to reclaim those objects if the object that was holding references isn't eligible for GC yet. In this case it's not necessary or useful. -- Chris Howie http://www.chrishowie.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Crazycomputers _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
