Implements

Dispose()

Remarks

Calling the Dispose method allows the resources used by this Image to be reallocated for other purposes.

Call Dispose when you are finished using the Image. The Dispose method leaves the Image in an unusable state. After calling Dispose, you must release all references to the Image so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the Image 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 Image. Otherwise, the resources it is using will not be freed until the garbage collector calls the Image object's Finalize method.

Dispose(Boolean)

Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Image and optionally releases the managed resources.

protected:
 virtual void Dispose(bool disposing);

protected virtual void Dispose (bool disposing);

true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.
