Freeup memory? (Array)

Hi,

I'm loading a couple of comboboxes with a few 100 items using an array. I only need them to load at the startup of the app. So because I don't need to use the array anymore I was wondering if they were still located in the memory and if so..: What would be the best way to clean it? Erase(myarray) or Array.Clear(...)

Array.Clear just clears the values from the array elements, so if you start with a 300 element array filled with strings, after clearing you'll have a 300 element array filled with ""

erase completely erases the array. after erase your array = nothing.

but i don't think you'll be saving much memory doing that

So I guess it's a bit pointless in my case, but thank you for telling me how it works. The msdn didn't mention that. :lol:

Edit: after adding the erase it seems tat the app uses even more memory ... :rolleyes:
