KeepNETObject

KeepNETObject[object]
causes the specified object(s) not to be released when the current NETBlock ends.

KeepNETObject[object, Manual]
causes the specified object to escape from all enclosing NETBlock expressions, meaning that the object will only be released if you manually call ReleaseNETObject.

MORE INFORMATION

To use KeepNETObject, you first need to load .NET/Link using Needs["NETLink`"].

KeepNETObject allows an object to "escape" from the current NETBlock.

It only has an effect if the object was in fact slated to be released by that block.

The object is promoted to the "release" list of the next-enclosing NETBlock, if there is one. The object will be released when that block ends (unless KeepNETObject is called again in the outer block).
