Chart type doesn't clean up memory

[jonsberndt]

When adding shapes (polygons) to the Map series (like in the example), when the form that contains the map is closed down, the memory is not released.

Is there a proper way make sure that when a form is closed that memory associated with the Map and its shapes are cleared? Right now, I am doing this:

map1.Shapes.Clear();

That doesn't seem to clear up the memory.

Jon,

Please notice that the .NET Framework manages memory automatically. It could exist a memory leak in TeeChart for .NET but I'm not able to reproduce this issue here. Would you be so kind to let us know the example you are referring to or sending us a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here and also the exact TeeChart version you are using?

You can either post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup or at our upload page.

Thanks in advance.

I took part in an interesting discussion about cleaning up memory in a microsoft newsgroup recently:

Anyhow, I've made sure that the Dispose() method on the Polygon instances within the PolygonList is called when the PolygonList.Clear() method is called and that this Clear() method is called in the Map Series Dispose() method.

I think that's the best I can do
