Dispose/destroy all objects when returning to the LogOn form

Question

I’m in critical need of some ideas how to destroy/dispose all objects that are created when I’ve been working in my program and logging off, and back to the LogOn form. To make it all clear: I’ve 6 classes: RunProgram, FrmLogOn, FrmStudent, FrmCourse, FrmRegister, DBconnect. Main is in RunProgram and "Application.Run" starts the FrmLogOn. After I’ve been logging in from FrmLogOn the FrmLogOn is set to “this.Hide;” and objStudent is instantiated and set to “objStudent.Show();”. Then it’s the same procedure when going to FrmCourses and FrmRegister, and back to FrmStudent. In every form there’s a Log Off in the menu. Now I wonder how I destroy all the objects that have been created when I’m returning back to FrmLogOn? All solutions are welcome! Even those that will change everything I’ve done so far. I just want to find a good way to make it work properly. Regards, Nick

The easiest way to do this would be to have some kind of FormsHandler collection that would store all the open form object names then in your main program you would iterate through the collection and close all the forms prior to closing the application. ~~Bonnie
