Dealing with .NET IDisposable objects

Question

I work in C#, and I\'ve been pretty lax about using using blocks to declare objects that implement IDisposable, which you\'re apparently always suppose

Answer 1

Always try to use the "using" blocks. For most objects, it doesn't make a big difference however I encountered a recent issue where I implemented an ActiveX control in a class and in didn't clean up gracefully unless the Dispose was called correctly. The bottom line is even if it doesn't seem to make much of a difference, try to do it correctly because some time it will make a difference.
