Remarks

The DangerousRelease method is the counterpart to DangerousAddRef. You should always match a call to the DangerousRelease method with a successful call to DangerousAddRef.

Caution

In the same way that unmatched DangerousAddRef calls can cause resource leaks, unmatched DangerousRelease calls can cause invalid handle states to become visible to other threads.
