RadDesktopAlert did not release memory when close

[Sam]

Hello

I may coded it incorrect way.  When I clicked the (X) button to close, it does not release memory.  I can see through Windows Task Manager.

 

RadDesktopAlert alert = new RadDesktopAlert();
           alert.FixedSize = new Size(330, 110);
           alert.PopupAnimation = true;
            alert.PopupAnimationFrames = 50; // 50 is default

            alert.ShowOptionsButton = false;
            alert.CaptionText = "NEW POPUP";
            alert.ContentText = "WELCOME";
            alert.AutoClose = Properties.Settings.Default.allowAutoClose;
            alert.AutoCloseDelay = Properties.Settings.Default.delayAutoCloseInSec; ;
            alert.Popup.Click += new EventHandler(Popup_Click);
            alert.Show();

Can someone please help me how to release/dispose RadDesktopAlert's memory properly?

Thank you!

Hi Sam,

Thank you for writing.

I tested your code with a memory profiler tool (JustTrace) and there is no indication of a memory leak which means that it will be eventually disposed by the garbage collector. This process is best managed by the .NET Framework. If you like you can force a garbage collection but please have in mind the non-deterministic behavior of the Garbage Collector. Our objects are mostly from Generation 3, which means that they will be disposed at a later state (more about garbage collection). 

I hope this information was useful. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
