Crish, 2 things You may not noticed the quote in the question from manohar like "this question is not related to using keyword which is used to import the class using namespace." 2nd "using classname" not saw any where, but "using namespace name" is the correct quote. You menat that?

Crish · Answer

hi you can create any class file where u can make properties, methods etc. once made this file you can use this class file publicly in asp.net files. so u need to add "using classname" in this file for accessing its methods and properties.

Theory C#, through the .NET Framework common language runtime (CLR), automatically releases the memory used to store objects that are no longer required. The release of memory is non-deterministic; memory is released whenever the CLR decides to perform garbage collection. However, it is usually best to release limited resources such as file handles and network connections as quickly as possible. The using statement allows the programmer to specify when objects that use resources should release them. The object provided to the using statement must implement the IDisposable interface. This interface provides the Dispose method, which should release the object's resources. A using statement can be exited either when the end of the using statement is reached or if an exception is thrown and control leaves the statement block before the end of the statement. In layman's language, we can ensure that the object will be released from memory automatically without any explicit work Example - Below FileStream object fs will be released once out of "using" block. We no need to do any thing using ( FileStream fs = new FileStream ( @"c:	ext.txt" , FileMode .Create)) { //fs has scope in this block } //fs released from memory. Now it's our of scope Imp - Stream objects and any COM objects should be wra with "using" to ensure their release automatically after the scope Custom using blocks If you have a class which has code related to COM and the developer using your classs need to apply "using" statement, what to do. Just inherit your class from IDisposable Eg- My class definition class JaishClass : IDisposable { //Contains some COM and Stream related codes void IDisposable.Dispose() { Console.WriteLine("Disposing limited resource."); } } Below developer using my class using (JaishClass objJaish = new JaishClass()) { c.UseLimitedResource(); } //objJaish will be released after after "using" block "using" block can use for any object which is inherited from "IDisposable". Another interesting thing is that once you opened the comiled assembly in ildasm.exe, you can see CLR added some additional blocks by identifying the "using" block.
