Garbage collection and disposing resources

Hi,

Is GC and disposing supposed to be handled the same way with WPF objects as
with normal .NET objects?

I'm having with Image not freeing up the source file, but keeping it locked,
even after setting Image.Source to null and deleting the frame where it
resided and forcing the GC to collect. Is there a some other way we're
supposed to do that now?

RE: Garbage collection and disposing resources

Found out myself, that the BitmapImage which is the source needs to be
created with CacheOptions set to OnLoad.

Still very strange, that closing the object and forcing GC to collect didn't
help.
