DesignSurface.Dispose Method (Boolean)

Releases the resources used by the DesignSurface.

Namespace:  System.ComponentModel.Design
Assembly:  System.Design (in System.Design.dll)
protected virtual void Dispose(
	bool disposing
)

Parameters

disposing
Type: System.Boolean
true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.

The public Dispose() method follows the standard IDisposable pattern. Calling this method destroys the design surface. The protected version of this method is virtual and follows the normal IDisposable pattern.

Note Note

Because DesignSurface does not have any native code to clean up, it does not have a finalizer that calls Dispose. If you need to call Dispose, you must add a finalizer yourself.

This method is called by the public Dispose()method and the Finalize method. Dispose() invokes the protected Dispose(Boolean) method with the disposing parameter set to true. Finalize invokes Dispose with disposing set to false.

When the disposing parameter is true, this method releases all resources held by any managed objects that this DesignSurface references. This method invokes the Dispose() method of each referenced object.

Notes to Inheritors

Dispose can be called multiple times by other objects. When overriding Dispose(Boolean) be careful not to reference objects that have been previously disposed of in an earlier call to Dispose. For more information about how to implement Dispose(Boolean), see Implementing a Dispose Method.

For more information about Dispose and Finalize, see Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources and Overriding the Finalize Method.
