Image::Dispose Method (Boolean)

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

Namespace:  System.Drawing
Assembly:  System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.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.
