[RESOLVED] Memory Leak Question

[Kasracer]

to completely get rid of the reference of the streamreader, you could:

strmrdr.Close();
strmrdr = null;

now the garbage collector should do its thing because strmrdr is no longer referenced.

Why wouldyou do that though? Since it's base is IDisposable, you don't have to set it to null, call Close() or Dispose(). You use it and then it's gone. Setting it to null also doesn't mean it'll automatically get cleaned up as quickly as the using statement or calling Dispose() would.
