New Message on dotNET User Group Hyd Why Dispose When there is GC Reply   Reply to Sender   Recommend Message 2 in Discussion From: valkenturbo Hi, For increased performance, it is best to cleanup your unused resources immediately after using them. For instance, as soon as you have retrieved your data through a database connection, the connection should be discarded of since it eats up system resources like memory, which could be better utilized by objects that you do in fact need. For this reason, an object can implement the Dispose method (by implementing the IDisposable interface). Calling the Dispose method on an object does two things. Firstly, it cleans up any resources that were in use by your object. Secondly, it marks the object so that the GC would not call its Finalize method when it collects it � the resources have been cleaned up already in your Dispose method. This way, you save the overhead of the GC call to Finalize, and you can clean up your object at the most appropriate time. Regards, Vikramaditya.   All the news that matters.
