ThreadLocal<T>.Dispose Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Threading

Assemblies:

netstandard.dll, System.Threading.dll

Releases the resources used by this ThreadLocal<T> instance.

Overloads

Dispose()	Releases all resources used by the current instance of the ThreadLocal<T> class.
Dispose(Boolean)	Releases the resources used by this ThreadLocal<T> instance.

Dispose()

Source:

ThreadLocal.cs

Releases all resources used by the current instance of the ThreadLocal<T> class.

C#

public void Dispose();

Implements

Dispose()

Remarks

Call Dispose when you are finished using the ThreadLocal<T>. The Dispose method leaves the ThreadLocal<T> in an unusable state. After calling Dispose, you must release all references to the ThreadLocal<T> so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the ThreadLocal<T> was occupying.

For more information, see Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources and Implementing a Dispose Method.

Note

Always call Dispose before you release your last reference to the ThreadLocal<T>. Otherwise, the resources it is using will not be freed until the garbage collector calls the ThreadLocal<T> object's Finalize method.
