Stream.Dispose Method (Boolean)
Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Stream and optionally releases the managed resources.
Namespace: System.IO
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- disposing
- Type: System.Boolean
true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.
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 InheritorsIn derived classes, do not override the Close method, instead, put all of the Stream cleanup logic in the Dispose method.
