使用文本属性会导致内存泄漏吗？

Question

If a string is immutable, and the Text property of a text box is a string type, will that not result in a massive memory leak if my application makes a lot of changes to the text box?

What is the best practice when working with text properties that are frequently updated?

(I'm assuming you're talking about Java or .NET.)

No. It may require many strings to be created, but they can then be garbage collected when they're no longer relevant... so there's no leak .

You need to be somewhat careful about how much garbage you generate, but in the case of a UI the garbage collector is likely to be significantly faster than the UI anyway - I'd expect that you'd get to the point where the UI is failing to keep up with the changes before GC churn becomes an issue.
