Releasing ActiveX in .Net application

[Franz Thomsen]

Hi

I'm using the TeeChart8.ocs in a .net application but have quite some difficulties in releasing the object again:

When doing:

TChart chart = new TChartClass();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(chart);
chart = null;

procexp.exe still reports that the application is using it. What can I do to release the com object?

Best Regards

Hi Franz,

You could try using this:

But you should be very carefull using this method. You may need to read up on how .NET Framework handles memory.
