Using IEnumerable without foreach loop

Question

I\'ve gotta be missing something simple here.

Take the following code:

public IEnumerable getInt(){
  for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
   y

It's important to mention that the duty of the foreach loop is to dispose the enumerator if the instance implements IDisposable. In other words, foreach should be replaced with something like:

var enumerator = enumerable.GetEnumerator();

try
{
    while (enumerator.MoveNext())
    {
        var item = enumerator.Current;
        // do stuff
    }
}
finally
{
    var disposable = enumerator as IDisposable;
    if (disposable != null)
    {
        disposable.Dispose();
    }
}
