Trying to understand the 'using' statement better

Question

I have read a couple of articles about the using statement to try and understand when it should be used. It sound like most people reckon it should be used as much as possib

Answer 1

Using statement is syntax sugar of C#.

So the following code:

using(var someDisposableObject = new someDisposableObject())
{
    // Do Something
}

actualy looks like:

var someDisposableObject = new someDisposableObject();
try
{
  // Do Something
}
finally
{
   if (someDisposableObject != null)
   {
       ((IDisposable) someDisposableObject).Dispose();
   }
}
