User control does not dispose when dispose is called

Question

I am using user control following way:

 Login = new MainMenu();
            Login.Parent = this;
            Login.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
            Login.SelectionMade += new LoginS.SelectionMadeDelegate(menu_SelectionMade);
            Login.Show();

At some point, the user control fires an event, on which main form reacts like this:

   login.SelectionMade -= this.login_SelectionMade;
                    login.Dispose();

However when checking in debugger, the login instance is still not null. Why? It should be disposed I think

Answer 1

Calling dispose on an object does not set it to null. Dispose would clean up any resources used in the Login control.

You should use:

Login.Dispose();
Login = null;
