How to release components resolved using a CollectionResolver?

[Vinay Mandy]

Hi All,

I have a case where I have to resolve all instances of a specific type
of component. I know that I can use the CollectionResolver class and
then do something like:

var myComponentList = container.Resolve<IList<MyComponent>>();

However, I was unable to find any examples of how to release these
components once I'm done with them. Is it as simple as the following:

container.Release(myComponentList);

Or do I have to manually release them all individually:

foreach (var component in myComponentList)
{
container.Release(component);
}


As a follow-up question, what would be the correct 'release' procedure
if I had used a TypeFactory to resolve the collection, would a
'release' method like the one below work:

interface IMyComponentFactory
{
IList<MyComponent> CreateAllMyComponents();

void DestroyAllMyComponents(IList<MyComponent> components);
}

Thanks in advance for your help.

you release each component, not the collection itself. same is true for a typed factory.
