NetworkStream.IDisposable.Dispose Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Net.Sockets

Assembly:

System.dll

Releases all resources used by the NetworkStream.

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

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

void IDisposable.Dispose ();

override this.System.IDisposable.Dispose : unit -> unit

Sub Dispose () Implements IDisposable.Dispose

Implements

Dispose()

Remarks

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

Note

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