Does stackPanel1.Children.RemoveAt destroy (dispose) the control?

I am composing new webbrowser elements like the way below

webnew = new WebBrowser();
webnew.Height = 1024;
webnew.Width = 768;
webnew.Name = "webBrowser1";
webnew.Navigated += new NavigatedEventHandler(wbMain_Navigated);
stackPanel1.Children.Add(webnew);
webnew.Navigate("url");

Now when i remove the element at stackPanel1 like the way below does it get destroyed completely ? I want it to be completely destroyed and removed from ram. If not how to completely destroy such dynamically composed element ? Thank you.

  stackPanel1.Children.RemoveAt(0);

Solution

  • Yes, eventually when the garbage collector gets to it.

    However, since WebBrowser implements IDisposable - you should really call

    webnew.Dispose()

    before removing it from the stackpanel.
