C# won't let you have a memory `leak`
It's garbage collected, meaning anything that isn't being used (or alive) is dumped away.
Just don't allocate huge static byte[]s or load huge files into memory and you're pretty much taken care of by JIT/GC. (Or fuck up hard with pointers)

I'm talking in simplistic terms, you can't have a memory leak like you do in C++ or C, where you have memory not pointed to but still allocated, without using native functions.

Basically in C# you don't have to release anything, Thats what tao is getting accross.

Ya you do, if you don't release event handlers then the object will never be freed...
