ResourceWriter.Dispose Method

Definition

Allows users to close the resource file or stream, explicitly releasing resources.

public:
 virtual void Dispose();
public void Dispose ();
abstract member Dispose : unit -> unit
override this.Dispose : unit -> unit
Public Sub Dispose ()

Implements

Exceptions

An I/O error has occurred.

An error has occurred during serialization of the object.

Examples

The following code example uses the Dispose method to write all resource objects in a ResourceWriter class to the output stream. The code then shuts down the writer and make the writer's resources available for other processes.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Resources;
using namespace System::IO;
int main()
{
   // Create a file stream to encapsulate items.resources.
   FileStream^ fs = gcnew FileStream( "items.resources",FileMode::OpenOrCreate,FileAccess::Write );

   // Open a resource writer to write from the stream.
   IResourceWriter^ writer = gcnew ResourceWriter( fs );

   // Add resources to the resource writer.
   writer->AddResource( "String 1", "First String" );
   writer->AddResource( "String 2", "Second String" );
   writer->AddResource( "String 3", "Third String" );

   // Write the resources to the stream,
   // and clean up all resources associated with the writer.
   // Calling Dispose is equivalent to calling Close.
   writer->~IResourceWriter();
}
using System;
using System.Resources;
using System.IO;

public class WriteResources 
{
    public static void Main(string[] args) 
    {  
        // Create a file stream to encapsulate items.resources.
        FileStream fs = new FileStream("items.resources", 
           FileMode.OpenOrCreate,FileAccess.Write);

        // Open a resource writer to write from the stream.
        IResourceWriter writer = new ResourceWriter(fs);
    
        // Add resources to the resource writer.
        writer.AddResource("String 1", "First String");
        writer.AddResource("String 2", "Second String");
        writer.AddResource("String 3", "Third String");

        // Write the resources to the stream,  
        // and clean up all resources associated with the writer.
        // Calling Dispose is equivalent to calling Close.
        writer.Dispose();
    }
}

Public Class WriteResources

  Public Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
      ' Create a file stream to encapsulate items.resources.
      Dim fs As New FileStream("items.resources", _
         FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write)

      ' Open a resource writer to write from the stream.
      Dim writer = New ResourceWriter(fs)

      ' Add resources to the resource writer.
      writer.AddResource("String 1", "First String")
      writer.AddResource("String 2", "Second String")
      writer.AddResource("String 3", "Third String")

      ' Write the resources to the stream,  
      ' and clean up all resources associated with the writer.
      ' Calling Dispose is equivalent to calling Close.
      writer.Dispose()
   End Sub

End Class

Remarks

The implementation of this method is the same as Close.
