I created an object using "new" method from a class. After some operation, I need to explicitly destroy this object. In vb the code is simply "object=nothing".
But in C#, i don't know how to do that. Thks.

You can dereference an object using
obj=null;
in C#
Then you can force Garbage Collection using
GC.Collect();
Of course it is not recommended to do so

That's not remotely analagous to 'object = nothing'.

Actually, object = nothing does not delete it at all. object = null; will do what object = nothing does in VB.NET, which is to discard the reference to it, which will speed up when it will be cleaned up by the garbage collector, but you can't know when that will be.
If an object has a Dispose() method, you need to call it before it goes out of scope. You can use the using keyword to do this for you automatically
using (Graphics gr = Graphics.FromBitmap(bm))
{
// do stuff
}// gr.Dispose() is called here
