This aspect of GC is, however, irritating some C++ programmers who are an important MS customer group. This can be used to block C# and 'managed' C++ inside .NET with the argument "C# is /less/ safe because it is harder to ensure clean up so you'll leak resources". The base problem is that the only resource GC knows about is memory. There should be a way of attaching other resources such as file handles and data base connections to a similar mechanism. Neil
