Hi Jack,
Whenever there is a reference to the dataset, it will not be collected. So
when you bind the dataset to a combobox, only when the combobox goes out of
scope will the GC collect the dataset. Generally, the ComboBox goes out of
scope when the form closes.

| Thanks for the reply. So, my question is when I pass in
| the dataset to a method that binds it and when the
| dataset goes out of scope the GC will release it when it
| collects? ANother question was when it is bound to the
| combobox is it not release into memory until the form is
| closed?
|
| Thanks
