Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Dispose
public void Dispose()
public:
virtual void Dispose() sealed
abstract Dispose : unit -> unit  
override Dispose : unit -> unit
public final function Dispose()

Implements

IDisposable.Dispose()

Remarks

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

Note

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