Stream.Dispose Method (Boolean)

May 02, 2013

Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Stream and optionally releases the managed resources.

Namespace: System.IO
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

'Declaration
Protected Overridable Sub Dispose ( _
	disposing As Boolean _
)

Parameters

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

Remarks

You should release all resources by specifying true for disposing. When disposing is true, the stream can also ensure data is flushed to the underlying buffer, and access other finalizable objects. This may not be possible when called from a finalizer due a lack of ordering among finalizers.

This method is called by the Finalize method. Finalize invokes Dispose with disposing set to false.

Notes to Inheritors

In derived classes, do not override the Close method, instead, put all of the Stream cleanup logic in the Dispose method.
