Imported unused classes

[aspfun]

In order to solve asp.net app memory leaking problem (as IIS admin told me), I double checked my asp.net app code.
I found out that some classes are imported but never used.
Does it cause memory leaking?

Do you mean the 'Imports' statements?

These would never cause memory leaks - they are just to allow you to refer to types without full qualification and are resolved before compiling.

Hello,

To be clear, you don't Import classes, you Import a reference to an assembly which contains classes.

The answer to your question is no, an Import of an assembly will not by itself cause memory leaks. There are a number of profiler which you can run on your code though to see if you have any issues.
