I have a Hash table that takes strings. What is the best way to dispose them ?
After using the hash table, should I call clear and then set the object to null ?
Or would just setting the hash table object to null suffice ?

    HashTable doesn’t implement IDisposable so you can’t call Dispose on it, you can assign the object null and let the garbage collector take care of it. You can’t predict when it will be collected by the garbage collector, although you can force garbage collector with GC.Collect but its not recommended.

    You may see: Fundamentals of Garbage Collection

    Apart from this you may look into Dictionary<TKey, TValue> Class which is generic implementation of the HashTable.
