Question

I have a WPF window which I am creating from another window by calling Show(), then letting it Close() itself. When the window closes, I expect it to die, call its destructor, and delete all its child elements (such as timers..).

What is the correct way of invoking such an action?

Answer 1

Close() releases all unmanaged resources, and closes all owned Windows.

Any other managed resources you need deterministic disposal of should be handled from the Closed event.
