If there is a Close method, it usually means that the object is holding unmanaged resources which should be released as soon as possible. The Close method is provided so that you can free them deterministically rather than wait on the non-deterministic behaviour of the Garbage Collection routine. It is also a good idea to set your object references to Nothing if you are through with the object and the object reference will not go out of scope soon. Forms/Controls Resizing/Tabbing Control

No. Remember, you can not set an object to Nothing, only a reference to the object. Forms/Controls Resizing/Tabbing Control
