How to delete object?

Question

I need to create a method of class that delete the instance.

public class Car
{
    private string m_Color;

    public string Color
    {
        get { return m

It sounds like you need to create a wrapper around an instance you can invalidate:

public class Ref where T : class
{
    private T instance;
    public Ref(T instance)
    {
        this.instance = instance;
    }

    public static implicit operator Ref(T inner)
    {
        return new Ref(inner);
    }

    public void Delete()
    {
        this.instance = null;
    }

    public T Instance
    {
        get { return this.instance; }
    }
}

and you can use it like:

Ref carRef = new Car();
carRef.Delete();
var car = carRef.Instance;     //car is null

Be aware however that if any code saves the inner value in a variable, this will not be invalidated by calling Delete.
