C# Tutorial - Object Finalizers
01/21/2010 - 11:28
The garbage collector won't immediately collect objects that are not referenced. Calling GC.Collect will force it to dispose unreferenced objects. If there's plenty of system memory and your application isn't requiring any more memory, it's actually more efficient for the GC to just leave that object alone.
From the article:
"Who knows how long it would be till the garbage collector finally tried to collect that instance of ClassWithFinalizer? It is quite possible it wouldn't happen until the program closed." -

I would too. We upgraded Drupal a while ago and somehow lost the template that controls that. We'll get it fixed soon.

Paths should only contain single slashes.
C:\SomeDirectory\somefile.txtI don't know why it would ever need a double slash. Backslash is used to escape other characters when using .NET strings. If you want to build a string that contains backslashes, you have to use two. The result, however, is a string that contains a single slash.
String^ myString = "C:\\SomeDirectory\\somefile.txt";
// myString is now C:\SomeDirectory\somefile.txt -
