This is a Console app, can you repro it in a windows forms application?

Peter

 Hi Chris,

 if you create for example a new Console Application, add reference to System.Windows.Forms and run:

 using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.Text;

 namespace TestGC
 {
  class Good
  {
   private byte[] _SomeData = new byte[1024];

   ~Good()
   {
   }
  }

  class Bad : System.Windows.Forms.Control
  {
   private byte[] _SomeData = new byte[1024];
   
   ~Bad()
   {
   }
  }

  class Program
  {
   static void Main(string[] args)
   {
    Good good;
    Bad bad;

    while (true)
    {
     good = new Good();
     bad = new Bad();

     System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1);
    }
   }
  }
 }

 If you run it an set a breakpoint on each finalizer you will see that the finalizer for Bad will never hit and the memory will go down (on your device).

 Best Regards,
 Armin
