[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Closes the underlying stream, releases the unmanaged resources used by the StreamReader, and optionally releases the managed resources.

Namespace:  System.IO
Assembly:  System.IO (in System.IO.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Overrides Sub Dispose ( _
    disposing As Boolean _
)
protected override void Dispose(
    bool disposing
)
protected:
virtual void Dispose(
    bool disposing
) override
abstract Dispose : 
        disposing:bool -> unit 
override Dispose : 
        disposing:bool -> unit 
protected override function Dispose(
    disposing : boolean
)

Parameters

  • disposing
    Type: System. . :: . .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. Dispose invokes the protected Dispose method with the disposing parameter set to true. Finalize invokes Dispose with disposing set to false.

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