FYI: A fix for memory leak when replacing a DataTable in a DataView

[Hewitt, Simon C. (Contractor)]

Here is a fix I found for a memory leak when replacing the DataTable a
DataView is wrapped around:

// Do this
FieldInfo fi = typeof(DataView).GetField("delayBeginEditList",
BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
fi.SetValue(view, null);

// before doing this
View.Table = newTable;

If you don't clear the delayBeginEditList before assigning the new
DataTable, it retains a reference to a DataRow in the *old* DataTable,
which keeps the old DataTable in memory.

Cheers
Simon
