IDisposable interface is to release unmanaged
resources. This framework would detect that an object is no longer needed as
soon as it occurs and automatically free up the memory. The garbage collector
automatically releases the memory allocated to a managed object when that object
is no longer used, it has only a single
member called Dispose. This method is called when the object needs to be freed.
Example
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing.Printing;
public class dispo
{
public static void Main()
{
textfile1 textfile
= new textfile1("c:\\demo.txt");
textfile.insertvalue("Example
of IDisposable");
textfile.Dispose();
textfile = null;
Console.WriteLine("Press
Return to collect the garbage...");
GC.Collect();
Console.WriteLine("Press
Return to quit...");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
public class textfile1 : IDisposable
{
private FileStream str;
private bool id;
public textfile1(string filename)
{
str = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
Console.WriteLine("Object
" + GetHashCode() + "
created.");
Console.WriteLine("Using
file: " + filename);
}
public void insertvalue(string buf)
{
if (id
== true)
{
throw new ObjectDisposedException("I've
been disposed!");
}
StreamWriter wr
= new StreamWriter(str);
wr.WriteLine(System.DateTime.Now);
wr.WriteLine(buf);
wr.Close();
}
public void Dispose()
{
if (id
== true)
return;
str.Close();
str = null;
id = true;
GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
Console.WriteLine("Object
" + GetHashCode() + "
disposed.");
}
}
