Best practice for MS office interop cleanup

Question

User591929525 posted

Folks,

When disposing of MS word interop objects created in an asp.net app, can someone advise me on best practice?

I have an application that creates word docs from a template and stores the docs in SQL server. I need to ensure garbage collection works everytime.

Cheers

When I used interop objects, after i finish using them I set the objects to nothing and call the "collect" method of the gabage collector class by Gc.collect().

Anyone using......
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(oWordDoc);
