HierarchyInfo.IDisposable.Dispose Method

Definition

Releases all unmanaged resources used by the HierarchyInfo.

 virtual void System.IDisposable.Dispose() = IDisposable::Dispose;
void IDisposable.Dispose ();
Sub Dispose () Implements IDisposable.Dispose

Implements

Remarks

Use this method to close or release unmanaged resources held by an instance of the class that implements this interface.

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.
