Freeing Dynamic Arrays

[headware]

Do you have to manually release memory allocated by creating a dynamic
array using ReDim? In other words, if I have the following code:

ReDim Test(1000)
For i = 0 To 1000
Test(i) = "test value " & i
Next

Do have I have set Test = Nothing to prevent a memory leak?

Thanks,
Dave

Re: Freeing Dynamic Arrays

Firstly, arrays as you describe them are not "dynamic" - the VB.NET "Redim"
keyword simply creates a new array and copies the contents to it.
When an array goes out of scope, it is marked for garbage collection, so you
do not need to do anything.
