Does End Using close an open SQL Connection

Question

If I wrap a SQLConnection in a Using, should I close it or does the end using handle it?

using cn as new system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection()
    cn.open

According to MSDN you don't need the close statement.

"The following example creates a SqlConnection, opens it, displays some of its properties. The connection is automatically closed at the end of the using block." -- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.close.aspx
