Remarks
The application calls Release to release exclusive access to the device.
If the DeviceEnabled property is set to TRUE, and the device is an exclusive-use device, then POS for .NET first disables the device. (Release does not change the device-enabled state of sharable devices.) If Release is successful, it sets the Claimed property to FALSE.
Release returns void if successful, and it can throw the following exception:
