Dispose() Method

Releases all resources associated with the object.

[Visual Basic]
Overloads Public Sub Dispose() 

[C#]
public void Dispose();

[C++]
public: void Dispose(); 

[C++/CLI]
public:
void Dispose(); 

Remarks

The Object.Dispose method abruptly aborts the connection and releases all resources.

Object.Dispose should ONLY be used to release all resources used by the object, and the object should not be used subsequently. If an abort is desired, then Object.Close or Object.Connection.Close if available should be used to terminate activity and reset the object. The Object cannot be used once Object.Dispose or Object.Dispose(true) are called.

Requirements

Platforms: Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 family
