Answer 1

yes , it is necessary to dispose the sqlconnection and sqlcommand object after your piece of code gets executed.

Now, there are two ways by which you can achieve this:

1. Write your code in using statement which will take care of disposing the objects, as sqlconnection and sqlcommand implements the IDisposable interface which takes care of disposing the objects..
2. by calling .close() method explicitly on sqlconnection object.
