ResourceWriter.Dispose Method

Definition

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

C#
public void 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.

C#
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();
    }
}

Remarks

The implementation of this method is the same as Close.
