.NET - Replacing nested using statements with single using statement

Question

If you came across some C# code like this with nested using statements/resources:

using (var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
    using (         


        

Answer 1

You should just stack your using statements - it has the desired effect you are looking for:

using (var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
using (var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (var reader = new BinaryReader(responseStream))
{
    // do something with reader
}
