.Net and Bitmap not automatically disposed by GC when there is no memory left

Question

I\'m wondering how does the allocation and disposal of memory allocated for bitmaps work in .NET.

When I do a lot of bitmap creations in loops in a function and call

Answer 1

Why don't you use using keyword. Just encapsulate your Bitmap object in it and Compiler will ensure that Dispose method is called.

Its simply a syntactic shortcut for

try
{
 ...   
}
finally
{
    ...Dispose();
}
