A question on object disposal which has sparked a little debate. When calling
the FeatureActivated method, the object to the parent site can be found at
'properties.Feature.Parent'. Best practices for using objects which implement
the IDisposable interface say to call the Dispose() method when finished using
the object.
For example:
using (SPWeb web = (SPWeb)properties.Feature.Parent)
{
//.... Do something here
}
or this way:
SPWeb web = (SPWeb)properties.Feature.Parent
web.Dispose();
However having read this article
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa973248.aspx and seen many examples
on the www where the 'properties.Feature.Parent' isn't explicitly disposed a
debate has been sparked as to whether or not getting the web (or site) using
'properties.Feature.Parent' requires disposal in the aforementioned manner?
So what says you; to dispose or not to dispose?
Cheers,
