I\'m having a strange memory leak using element host on windows forms. I have a main form, which opens another form, the one that only haves the elementhost control on it (which

I have a WPF ElementHost Object on my form and noticed a memory leak as well. What I was doing was something like this:

VAR cnt=this.MyHostControl.Child as MyWPFControl.WPObject;

and would do this in scope IE:

Private void Myfunction()
{

   VAR cnt=this.MyHostControl.Child as MyWPFControl.WPObject;
   cnt.Myproerty="Issue";

}

Not being a big fan of a VAR (Reminds of old COM days), I decided to create a global object like this:

MyWPFControl.WPObject cnt = null;

Then on the FormLoad_EvenT()

I initialized the object cnt like so:

cnt = this.MyHostControl.Child as MyWPFControl.WPObject;

Now my reference looks like this:

Private void Myfunction()
{

   cnt=this.MyHostControl.Child as MyWPFControl.WPObject;
   cnt.Myproerty="Issue";

}

And I do not need to create a var object.

Still testing and it looks like it maybe working. We will see over time.
