(Mis)Using IDisposable: beyond resource clean-up

submitted by samuel_d_jack 3 months, 23 days ago

blog.functionalfun.net — Anybody who has ever done any work with files, databases and so on, in C#, has had it drummed into them that they must be good citizens and always tidy up after themselves. Usually that means using using. But did you know that the using statement has uses that go far beyond resource cleanup?

But be careful, when i submitted my story myself once, it got deleted after a couple of minutes :-)

Lars, Thanks - I'll bear that in mind. But it does appear to be faily common practice to submit ones own stories. For small blogs like mine it's often the only way people find the articles!

There is no problem with submitting your own stories.
