How to set list items to null C#?

c#, dispose, memory-leaks

Solution

Suppose panel is you parent control which contains all child control , so loop through all child controls and call dispose method of each...that might resolve your issue

  while (panel.Controls.Count > 0)
  {
     panel.Controls[0].Dispose();
  }

Calling clear method just remove your controls from the container control not from the memory so you need to dispose them...

Problem

I have a user control called container in which I am adding other user controls at run time. I want to remove all controls from container, I am doing `container.Controls.Clear()` but my controls are still in memory, how can I make them null ?
