Releas object reference, garbage collection

[yaniva]

Hello NI Engineers,

Does NI Test Stand have a garbage collector?

meaning: if i have .net object reference (MyDotNEtObj = .Net)

i want to realse this object therefor im writing the follow code inside a Statment step:

MyDotNetObj = Nothing

does it cause to memory leak or maybe there is a garbage collector that recognise this object and automatic realse this object from the memory?

thanks, Yaniv

This just removes that teststand variable's reference of the .NET object. Once all .NET references to a .NET object are removed, it's still up to the .NET framework (not teststand) to free that memory with its garbage collector.

Hope this helps,
