protected:
 virtual void Dispose();
protected virtual void Dispose ();
abstract member Dispose : unit -> unit
override this.Dispose : unit -> unit
Protected Overridable Sub Dispose ()

Implements

Remarks

Call <xref:Namespace.Class.Dispose%2A> when you are finished using the HierarchyInfo. The <xref:Namespace.Class.Dispose%2A> method leaves the HierarchyInfo in an unusable state. After calling <xref:Namespace.Class.Dispose%2A>, you must release all references to the HierarchyInfo so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the HierarchyInfo 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 HierarchyInfo. Otherwise, the resources it is using will not be freed until the garbage collector calls the HierarchyInfo object's Finalize method.
