BlockingCollection<T>::Dispose Method ()

.NET Framework (current version)
 

Releases all resources used by the current instance of the BlockingCollection<T> class.

Namespace:   System.Collections.Concurrent
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

public:
virtual void Dispose() sealed

The Dispose method is not thread-safe.

Call Dispose when you are finished using the BlockingCollection<T>. The Dispose method leaves the BlockingCollection<T> in an unusable state. After calling Dispose, you must release all references to the BlockingCollection<T> so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the BlockingCollection<T> was occupying.

For more information, see Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources and Implementing a Dispose Method.

System_CAPS_noteNote

Always call Dispose before you release your last reference to the BlockingCollection<T>. Otherwise, the resources it is using will not be freed until the garbage collector calls the BlockingCollection<T> object's Finalize method.
