Kind of a late response, but any assembly loaded into memory by an application including an EXE will never release completely unless you shut down the AppDomain or shut down the application.

This means effectively that the file stays loaded always, but related resources for objects get cleaned up by the garbage collector.

As a general rule - if a class implements IDisposable() it's a good idea to call .Dispose() explicitly from VFP code to ensure that objects are properly releasing additional and non-.NET resources.

Hope this helps,
