Then you should use a profiler to see what it is that really uses up the memory. Even if your test code does use a lot of memory, it's not certain that the live application uses memory for the same reason.

Well... the problem I have is in a huge application that creates a lot of other objects and uses a lot of memory. And I can see that the memory does sometimes "go down a bit", but that is only a couple of megabytes, and then it startes growing again. The problem is that even after running for 6-8 hours the huge memory chunks are still not released.

Probably not. That doesn't affect how the objects are disposed and dereferenced.

Is it a real problem? The main reason that the code is using a lot of memory is that you are creating a lot of connections and very few other objects. In a real situation you would create a lot of other objects that would cause garbage collections to occur more frequently.

Would putting those wrapper declarations into "using" blocks encourage the GC to be a bit more aggressive with collection?
