Wow, so that's what is needed to debug a .Net app and find a leak??
I love you .free
I love you more AQtime

AQTime works just fine for .NET apps. :)

That said, the essential problem in the linked post was that the code in question used a library which was documented not to work in the situation in which it was used.... I wouldn't draw too many conclusions about MM from that.

If I have to waste my time figuring out the must dispose objects I will end disposing every object. So, what's the point from lazyness point of view?? It's the some than .free every object
