.NET Framework 2.0

Other Versions

Namespace: System.Net
Assembly: System (in system.dll)

Syntax

C++

void IDisposable.Dispose ()

J# supports the use of explicit interface implementations, but not the declaration of new ones.

JScript

JScript supports the use of explicit interface implementations, but not the declarations of new ones.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
NotSupportedException	Any attempt is made to access the method, when the method is not overridden in a descendant class.

Remarks

Call System.IDisposable.Dispose when you are finished using the WebResponse. The System.IDisposable.Dispose method leaves the WebResponse in an unusable state. After calling System.IDisposable.Dispose, you must release all references to the WebResponse so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the WebResponse was occupying. For more information, see Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources and Implementing a Dispose Method.

Note
Always call System.IDisposable.Dispose before you release your last reference to the WebResponse. Otherwise, the resources it is using will not be freed until the garbage collector calls the WebResponse object's Finalize method.
