when do we close reference?

[analog]

I am confuse as to when do we close reference in LabView. I tried to close the references that I have in one of my VI, but somehow the VI will not run altogether. So when is the right time to close a reference? Is it after we get done with a method or property or when when we are done with the whole class? Thanks.

Hi Yonatan. You don't need to close that reference, because you didn't explicitly open it. LV opens and closes these references automatically (I hope so, anyway. Otherwise, I'm in serious memory problems).
