SemaphoreSlim.Dispose Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Threading

Assembly:

System.Threading.dll

Releases resources used by the current instance of the SemaphoreSlim class.

Overloads

Dispose()	Releases all resources used by the current instance of the SemaphoreSlim class.
Dispose(Boolean)	Releases the unmanaged resources used by the SemaphoreSlim, and optionally releases the managed resources.

Dispose()

Source:

SemaphoreSlim.cs

Releases all resources used by the current instance of the SemaphoreSlim class.

public:
 virtual void Dispose();

public void Dispose ();

abstract member Dispose : unit -> unit
override this.Dispose : unit -> unit

Public Sub Dispose ()

Implements

Dispose()

Remarks

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

Dispose(Boolean)

override this.Dispose : bool -> unit

Protected Overridable Sub Dispose (disposing As Boolean)

Parameters

disposing

Boolean

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

Remarks

Unlike most of the members of SemaphoreSlim, Dispose is not thread-safe and may not be used concurrently with other members of this instance.
