FYI: A fix for memory leak when replacing a DataTable in a DataView

Here is a fix I found for a memory leak when replacing the DataTable a
DataView is wrapped around:

  // Do this
  FieldInfo fi =3D typeof(DataView).GetField("delayBeginEditList",
BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
  fi.SetValue(view, null);

  // before doing this
  View.Table =3D newTable;

If you don't clear the delayBeginEditList before assigning the new
DataTable, it retains a reference to a DataRow in the *old* DataTable,
which keeps the old DataTable in memory.

Cheers
Simon
