Releasing Objects

Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC

When you're done using an object, it's good to set it to Nothing to indicate to the system that you're no longer using it. While you can do this in ASP, be aware that the object isn't released until the page is done running. Unless you're creating lots of objects, this won't really affect you. As soon as you set it to Nothing, the object is no longer available to you, though. It's just that the system doesn't reclaim the resources until the page is complete.
