Can't create placemark after erased

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Perhaps I am missing a method called, but I'm expecting to create a placemark 
with the same ID / name after it has been erased. I'm working with 
Test_Application6 as an example / starting point.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a placemark and add it to the tree, e.g.: 
            var bobPlacemark = GEHelpers.CreatePlacemark(ge, 33.11, 45.22, id: "Bob", name: "Bob placemark 1");
            this.kmlTreeView1.ParseKmlObject(bobPlacemark);
2. Clear all nodes, e..g:
            GEHelpers.RemoveAllFeatures(ge);
            kmlTreeView1.Nodes.Clear();
3. Recreate element as in Step 1

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the node to be recreated and added again. Instead, I get a 
COMException : Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM 
component.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Win XP SP3, dll version 4.0.30319

Thanks in advance.

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi,
just a quick answer.
IDs need to be unique, so when you recreate the pm in step 3 you'll get an 
error. 
I typically use a counter when creating and deleting placemarks.

Yes, the internal garbage collection has to complete before you reuse an ID.

However you can just call release on the placemark - i.e. - 
bobPlacemark.release() to force this.

JTN this is an issue with the Google Earth Plugin Api - not this control 
library as such, see
