Connection.IDisposable.Dispose Method
Definition
Important

Releases all resources used by the Connection.

Remarks
Call Dispose when you are finished using the Connection. The <xref:Namespace.Class.Dispose%2A> method leaves the Connection in an unusable state. After calling <xref:Namespace.Class.Dispose%2A>, you must release all references to the Connection so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the Connection was occupying. For more information, see Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources and Implementing a Dispose Method.
Note
Always call <xref:Namespace.Class.Dispose%2A> before you release your last reference to the Connection. Otherwise, the resources it is using will not be freed until the garbage collector calls the Connection object's Finalize method.
