StructureMap Disposing Container

In my application each tenant has it's own StructureMap container.

At runtime, tenant instances may be shutdown or restarted. Is there any tidying up I should do (such as calling IContainer.Dispose) or should I just let Garbage Collection do it's job?

We do have a number of singleton instances that implement IDisposable. Ideally we should call Dispose on these prior to disposing the container. I know this is done automatically on a Nested Container but wasn't sure about a standard container?

Thanks,

Ben

Call dispose on the containers.

You should never "just let the Garbage Collector do its job". See my response to this post to understand why:

Is it bad practice to depend on the garbage collector

You should call Dispose on your container, which will dispose cached instances for you.
