Is there a need to dereference objects in C#, ie: objGeneric = null

Nope... when objects fall out of scope, they'd be taken care of by the
framework...

I would argue that it is good programming practice to release the objects
yourself. Along with a good notation it is easy to understand what an
objects scope is when you see an explicit Object = Nothing at the end of a
procedure.

I think the 'lose' objects are picked up by the garbage collector. On a
high volume site you could run short on resources before the garbage
collector has a chance to free them.

That's the idea, when resources go low, the GC kicks in and tries to give
you more back. Plus, in .NET, there's no way to explitly _kill_ the object
yourself. You can call the GC explicitly, but that's an expensive operation
and you're getting into _when_ to call the GC, which defeats the purpose of
having a GC in the first place.

If your objects are expensive, you may want to have a method to release
resources manually.
