DirectoryEntry.Dispose(Boolean) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.DirectoryServices

Assembly:

System.DirectoryServices.dll

Source:

DirectoryEntry.cs

Disposes of the resources (other than memory) that are used by the DirectoryEntry.

C#

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing);

Parameters

disposing

Boolean

true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.

Remarks

This method is called by the public Dispose() method and the Finalize() method, if it has been overridden. Dispose() invokes the protected Dispose method with the disposing parameter set to true. Finalize specifies the disposing parameter as false.

When the disposing parameter is true, this method releases all resources that are held by any managed objects that this DirectoryEntry object references. This method invokes the Dispose() method of each referenced object.

Notes to Inheritors

Dispose() can be called multiple times by other objects. When overriding Dispose(Boolean), be careful not to reference objects that have been previously disposed of in an earlier call to Dispose(). For more information about how to implement Dispose, see Implementing a Dispose Method.
