Which one is better to use to dispose an object?

Question

I'm developing an app windows phone 8 and i was wondering making null is a good way to dispose an object from memory or should i do something different or extra to dispose an object...!

Moreover, I have a class name 'A' and this 'A class contains observable collections and other kind of objects. Therefore, when I feel i don't need to use the class anymore, for example leaving the page, I make that class 'A' object null. Is it a good practice to do or should I do something different?

Is `A` `IDisposable`? If not, I wouldn't worry, as soon as it is out of scope `GC` handles it. — Sayse, Sep 26 '14 at 06:28
I did not create a idisposable methods, should i create one then? @Yuriy would you be kind of enough to explain your answer bit more? Thanks — gayan1991, Sep 26 '14 at 06:30
However, there are object arrays in that class, doesn't that matter? — gayan1991, Sep 26 '14 at 06:32

if your code is managed then just null the object, CLR will manage rest of the things. If your code is un-managed then implement IDsposable interface and call Dispose method.
