    Question Solving Memory Leaks

    I have a program that runs C++ for its behind-the-scenes functional operations and runs C# for its GUI portion, however, the C# GUI executable has a memory leak issue and I'm trying to track it down. The memory of the program gradually increases over time, eventually handicapping the PC. I ran .NET Memory Profiler and the items that used the most memory were:

    System.WeakReference
    System.Hastable.bucket[]
    System.Windows.Forms
    GCHandle

    Since these are system items, this leads me to believe that I'm using them incorrectly in my code. That being said, here are some samples of code which I believe to be suspect for memory leaks, but I'm not sure if there is a way or how to fix them.

    Code:
    public class Gui
    {
           // Variables
           private MyFormClass myFormVariable = null;
           private System.Collections.ArrayList myArrayList = new System.Collections.ArrayList();
    
           // Constructor
           public Gui()
           {
                  System.Collections.ArrayList localArrayList = new System.Collections.ArrayList(myArrayList);
    
                  object myObject = new object();
                 
                  myArrayList.Add(object);
    
                  myFormVariable = new MyFormClass();
    
                  MyMethod();
                  
           }
    
            private void MyMethod()
            {
                   System.Drawing.Point myPoint = new System.Drawing.Point (34, 3);
                   
                   char[] c = new char[2];
                   c[0] = 'c';
    
                   if (myFormVariable != null)
                   {
                           myFormVariable.Location = myPoint;
                           myFormVariable.Name = new string (c);
                   }
            }
    }
    Will any of these variable initializations/usages cause memory leaks? If so, how do I fix it? Of course I just gave a sample code snippet...these types of initializations are all over the code I'm working with.
