Syntax
'Declaration
Protected Overridable Sub Dispose ( _
disposing As Boolean _
)
protected virtual void Dispose(
bool disposing
)
Parameters
- disposing
Type: System.Boolean
true to release managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.
Remarks
This method is called only by the public Dispose method and finalizer; do not call this method directly.
When you implement the dispose pattern, the BinaryReader.Dispose(Boolean) method should be used as follows:
The BinaryReader.Dispose() method of the current object should call BinaryReader.Dispose(Boolean) with the Boolean parameter set to true to release both managed and unmanaged resources.
The finalizer of the current object should call BinaryReader.Dispose(Boolean) with the Boolean parameter set to false to release only unmanaged resources.
