Hi guys hope someone can be of assistance...

I have a program that instantiate a class which returns a control with multiple controls on.

The problem that I have is that when I dispose and call The GC.Collect() my memory in Task Manager doesn't drop. This is a problem because my application's memory gets huge and the computer starts to lag. Can anyone please assist??

Thanks

Memory growth and garbage collection not working indicates you are keeping the object references alive. This can be hard to find, but most likely the form using your controls are being kept alive and not closing.
