AW: [Pnet-developers] [bug #16089] Garbage Collector does not call Finalizers if using Forms

[Heiko.Weiss]

Look at my small sample.

Just do:

new Form2().Show();

So the Form2 is shown, and never had a reference on it.
When Closing the Form gc.should collect.

Problem must be in Xsharp/Widget.cs or?!??

Are you absolutely sure that you're not holding a reference to the form 
somewhere ? Because I really doubt that the GC knows anything about Forms, if 
you know what I mean.

Just closing a form doesn't mean it should release its inner objects, IIRC 
you're able to re-open it, aren't you ? This means you must close the form 
and set all references to the form to null so it can be collected.
