This is misguided. I'd guess that Windows process cleanup is -if anything- more robust than .NET. The only scenario where this really matters is, as others have suggested, when you have multiple AppDomains. Of course, there's something to be said for "correctness", especially as you don't know how this code might evolve in the future. -- Curt Hagenlocher [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
