Hi.

I have an application on a mobile device with WM 6.1. I am running out of RAM.

My app only has one form open at a time, so what I am trying to do is make it so that when the user clicks the submit button at the end of a form that form is closed and completely removed out of the devices RAM. Does anyone know the code to do this.

Please let me know.

Thanks.
Kate

There is no "removing it from RAM". Once the form has been closed and references to it released, the Garbage Collector will do its job and release the memory it's using back to the managed heap. You don't need to do anything.

A common problem with using Form.ShowDialog is that people sometimes forget they have to call Dispose on the form object.

You do not need to do this if the form is shown with Form.Show.

Ok. So my device keeps closing my program randomly and after testing it showed that the RAM was close to full whenever the device closed the program. So basically there is nothing that I can do to free up that RAM?

Thanks.
