Find references to the object in runtime

Viewed 22337

I have an object, which lives forever. I am deleteing all references I can see, to it after using it, but it still not collected. Its life cycle is pretty sophisticated so I can't be sure that all references been cleared.

if ( container.Controls.Count > 0 )
{ 
    var controls = new Control[ container.Controls.Count ];
    container.Controls.CopyTo( controls, 0 );

    foreach ( var control in controls ) 
    { 
         container.Controls.Remove( control );
         control.Dispose();
    }

    controls = null; 
}

GC.Collect();
GC.Collect(1);
GC.Collect(2);
GC.Collect(3);

How can I find out what references does it still have? Why is it not collected?
