how to remove an object that was created, dispose?!

[persian_83]

In a program i made , an object is created during runtime, this object uses a timer inside( of its own ), when i dispose my object, the programs shows an error because the timer inside of it was still working .
why does this happen? when you dispose an object doesnt it dispose and kill everything that the object contains?!!

Well , simply just call Dispose Property of that object like so :

Dim ad As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter() 
 
'When you are done , do this to free up 
ad.Dispose()

I don't know about your code but it seems you're doing some bad coding practice .

To have more elegant code , it highly recommended to include your unwanted resources in the Form's Dispose Method which looks similar to this one :

Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
        If disposing Then
            If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
'Add this line and pass the object you want to dispose .
 
                components.Add(A)
                components.Dispose()
            End If
        End If
        MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
    End Sub

The timer is executing on a different thread, so in your dispose method, make sure you stop the timer.
