Can you post a compiling snippet, because I cannot reproduce the
behaviour you see.
The following compiles just fine:
using System;
using System.Data;
public class Test
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
}
public static Test Method()
{
Test t;
IDbConnection conn = new
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection();
try
{
conn.Open();
t = new Test();
}
finally
{
conn.Dispose();
}
return t;
}
}
Regards,
Jeroen
