Releasing Classes

[Dominic]

Hi,

I've a separated class DOIT with a function WATCH which is
dynamically creating FileSystemWatch ers.

In an other project I'm creating a new instance of DOIT
and start my function WATCH. So far so good....

I'm setting the Instance DOIT later in the application to
NOTHING, but all created FileSystemWatch ers are still
running. How can I release/dispose a whole instanced class
within a project ? Or how can I kill all
FileSystemWatch ers at one time (but I d'ont know how many
there are) ?

Many thanks for any help !
Cheers,
Dominic

Re: Releasing Classes

Dominic,
I would have the DOIT class implement the IDisposable interface. Instead of
setting the DOIT variable to Nothing, I would call the DOIT.Dispose method.
Within the Dispose method I would have it "shut down" each of the
FileSystemWatch ers, that this instance of the DOIT class created earlier.

This may mean that DOIT would need an internal ArrayList to hold each
instance of any dynamically created FileSystemWatch ers that were created.

Hope this helps
Jay
