how to mark an object for garbage collection ??

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

how do you mark an object for garbage collection in C++.NET 2005 ?

MyDbClass^ obj = gcnew MyDbClass();

// Release the object
obj = 0; --> COMPILER ERROR
obj = nullptr; // nope : this does not mark it for garbage
// collection (see help)

so ... how ?

thanks
Chris
