Control..::.Disposing Property

Gets a value indicating whether the base Control class is in the process of disposing.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<BrowsableAttribute(False)> _
Public ReadOnly Property Disposing As Boolean

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As Control
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.Disposing

[BrowsableAttribute(false)]
public bool Disposing { get; }

Visual C++

[BrowsableAttribute(false)]
public:
property bool Disposing {
    bool get ();
}

JScript

public function get Disposing () : boolean

Property Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the base Control class is in the process of disposing; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When this property returns true, the base Control class is in the process of disposing. After the control is disposed of, it can no longer be referenced as a valid Windows control. Even though the instance of a control is disposed of, it is still maintained in memory until it is removed from memory through garbage collection. When a control is disposed of, you cannot call its RecreateHandle method.
