I want to clear any old connection objects left in user's PC as soon as the Home Page of my application starts. Is it safe to run
GC.Collect() as application loads?
It won't hurt anything no, but the garbage collector won't release those objects unless they are properly disposed of first. If they are still in use the collector will pass over them as being active and in use.
In fact you can also try to use "using……" statement to a class instance that has implemented the interface of "IDisposible"，which will release the inner unmanaged things together。

In that case, I added: connection.dispose in the finally section after the connection got closed?

Hello rpk2006：）
In fact you can also try to use "using……" statement to a class instance that has implemented the interface of "IDisposible"，which will release the inner unmanaged things together。
Reguards！
