Hi there
Well, after reading the relevant topics the online help provides,
I'm still consfused. When do I have to implement IDisposable?
Please, see the following imaginery scenario.
public class Room {}
public class RoomList
{
// contains a list of rooms
}
public class House
{
public RoomList Rooms = new RoomList();
}
public class HouseList
{
// contains a list of houses
}
public class Quarter
{
public HouseList Houses = new HouseList();
}
None of the above classes contains/uses unmanaged resources.
What I want is when a Quarter is disposed all the contained objects disposed.
Do I have to implement IDisposable and where?
Should I stop worrying and let GC do the job, when just managed resources
are involved?
Implementing the above hierarchy in Delphi (<=7) seems so easy to me.
Just a couple of TLists or -better- TObjectLists and done.
Now what?
I have to admit it anyway: I miss TObjectList and TStringList.

PS. God, I love this job. It keeps me young. ( lol )
