Using Interface to dispose and null and object

I may be on the wrong track here but I thought I could do this, but it isn't working.

I have a class which I have used a interface to define.

This class is then inherited from, and many of them are used (conditionally) on a form.

In order to simplify my dispose area, I thought I could use the interface to dispose and null the items, but it doesn't seem to work.

Eg.

public interface IDataModule : IDisposable
{ ... }

class ProductsDM : Candle.DataModule, IDataModule
{ ... }

class StatusDM : Candle.DataModule, IDataModule
{ ... }


Form Code
_____________

IDataModule CurrentModule;


Load method...

switch (SetupMode)
{
case SetupFormMode.SETUP_PRODUCTS:
{
ProductsModule = new DataModules.ProductsDM(....);
CurrentModule = ProductsModule;
}
break;
case SetupFormMode.SETUP_STATUSES:
{
StatusModule = new DataModules.StatusDM(....);
CurrentModule = StatusModule;
}
break;

}


Unload Method
if (CurrentModule != null)
CurrentModule.Dispose();
CurrentModule = null;


Now if I put a watch on CurrentModule and the Actually objects, the CurrentModule is null, but the others are fine.

Any help would be great.
