Possible memory leakage with the following MOSS 2007 code?

Does the below code leaks memory? If so, any recommendations on optimising it?

SPWeb web = (SPWeb)properties.Feature.Parent; // comes from the event receiver
//... lots of other code

// the below is the focal point.
foreach (SPWeb childWeb in web.Webs) 
{
    try
    {
        // lots of heavy processing with the childWebs
    }
    finally
    {
        if (childWeb != null)
        {
            childWeb.Dispose();
        }
    }
}
Solution

  • The code you have posted should be fine. However, depending on what you do with the childWeb within the try-statement, it might cause memory leaks. Can you post the entire code? Do you suspect memory leaks?
