I see. Well, I'm referring to the bob object that was instantiated:
System.Diagnostics.Process bob = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
Will bob remain in memory after I exit the main app?
Just to be sure, I had to do put the code under the try..finally
block:
System.Diagnostics.Process bob = null;
try
{
bob = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
}
catch ()
{
...
}
finally
{
if (bob != null)
{
bob.Close();
}
}
Am I doing this correctly? Please advise.
