Re: How does "new" work in a loop?

Unlikely that you are creating a memory leak. C# uses garbage
collection. When the object goes out of scope (in your case, the }
marked // for int i) the object is destroyed. The next time through
the loop, a new one is created.

The object is *not* destroyed when it reaches the end of the scope.
..NET does not have deterministic garbage collection. Instead, the
object's memory will be released *at some point* after it is last used.

In fact, this could be before the end of the scope - the GC could kick
in before progBar.Value++ and free both fs and inputBuffer.
