The question is irrelevant, because the memory for static variables can't ever be released. If the variable is of a reference type all that can be released is the memory of the object being held by that variable. When the class type containing the variable is loaded into memory the memory location for all static variables is allocated and it will only ever be deallocated when the class would be unloaded. This only can happen if the application domain that held this class were to be unloaded.

Hope that explains it to you. If you still have doubts leave me a comment.

Cheers!

You can't - in .Net, releasing memory is not in your control.

Solution 1

Assign null value to static variable. That's all you can do.
