Remarks

The `DisposeAsync` method lets you perform a resource-intensive dispose operation without blocking the main thread. This performance consideration is particularly important in a Windows 8.x Store app or desktop app where a time-consuming stream operation can block the UI thread and make your app appear as if it is not working. The async methods are used in conjunction with the async and await keywords in Visual Basic and C#.

This method disposes the Brotli stream by writing any changes to the backing store and closing the stream to release resources.

Calling `DisposeAsync` allows the resources used by the BrotliStream to be reallocated for other purposes. For more information, see [Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources](/dotnet/standard/garbage-collection/unmanaged).
