Mattias,

Thanks for responding.

>>> a) If so, does this mean that tmpPage object lasts the duration of the page too, regardless of Line5?

>> No.

Could you explain this? I had always thought that assigned on ref type to another variable or property, would keep the original object around because the GC says, "sorry there is still information in use, I can't clean you up, try Gen 1 (or God forbid, Gen 2)". Is this wrong? By marking the object as null, even though the value still exists in memory through another pointer, the original object is indeed collected?

I apologize for the ignorance, I am just really trying to get my brain around this and understand GC.

Thanks,

Tyson
