Namespace:  System.ComponentModel.Design
Assembly:  System.Design (in System.Design.dll)

public:
virtual void Dispose() sealed

Implements

IDisposable::Dispose()

The Dispose method is the implementation of the only method mandated by the IDisposable interface. Call this method when you are finished using the DesignerActionService. It performs two main actions:

  • Removes the current service from the list of available services in the design environment through a call to the RemoveService method.

  • Unsubscribes to component change events from the associated IComponentChangeService interface.

Call Dispose when you are finished using the DesignerActionService. The Dispose method leaves the DesignerActionService in an unusable state. After calling Dispose, you must release all references to the DesignerActionService so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the DesignerActionService was occupying. For more information, see Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources and Implementing a Dispose Method.

NoteNote:

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