Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Releases all resources used by the current instance of the ComposablePartExportProvider class.

Namespace:  System.ComponentModel.Composition.Hosting
Assembly:  System.ComponentModel.Composition (in System.ComponentModel.Composition.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Dispose

public void Dispose()

Implements

IDisposable.Dispose()

Remarks

Call Dispose when you are finished using the ComposablePartExportProvider. The Dispose method leaves the ComposablePartExportProvider in an unusable state. After calling Dispose, you must release all references to the ComposablePartExportProvider so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the ComposablePartExportProvider was occupying.

For more information, see Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources and Implementing a Dispose Method.

NoteNote:

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