Hi,

I have few objects create at function level, i.e., local to a function in a class.

I want to use the IDisposable interface to dispose the objects. Can someone help me how this can be implemented.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks
Govardhan

Solution 1

if the objects you create already implement IDisposable you can use them in a using statement:

try
{
    using(MyDisposableObject obj = new MyDisposableObject())
    {
    //code here..
    }
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
//error handling here..
}

this will dispose of the objects as soon as they are out of scope and will also ensure they are correctly disposed of if there's an exception.

Thanks jim.

One query if the object belongs to a WCF services, then also the dispose will work by 'using' statment?

you'll have to clarify what you mean by "belongs to a WCF services" - if you mean classes in the System.ServiceModel namespace or Service Clients, then yes, using statements will still work. I wrap my calls to a ServiceClient in a using for example.
