[RESOLVED] [2005] clear controls

[jorre13]

I want all of my dynamically build controls away of my panel

but when i do this:

Me.Pnl_step3.Controls.Clear()

and i return to my form the controls are still there

what i'm doing wrong??

I can't tell you why your controls are still there because that code will clear all child controls from the specified container. It's my guess that you're specifying the wrong container.

That said, you have another problem there. By simply clearing the controls like that you are creating a resource leak. You MUST dispose all those controls before discarding them like that:

For Each ctl As Control In Me.Pnl_step3.Controls
    ctl.Dispose()
Next ctl
 
Me.Pnl_step3.Controls.Clear()

thx
i tried this but the result is still the same

Do you know another solution??

[jmcilhinney]

There is no other solution required because there is no problem. The code provided will do EXACTLY what it's supposed to. Either you are not actually executing the code or else you're specifying the wrong Panel. You need to debug your code.
