'Declaration

Parameters
- disposing

true to release managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.
Remarks
This method is called only by the public Dispose() and Finalize() methods; do not call this method directly.
When you implement the dispose pattern, the Boolean parameter of the Dispose(Boolean) method should be used as follows:
The Dispose() method of the current object should call Dispose(Boolean) with the Boolean parameter set to true to release both managed and unmanaged resources.
The Finalize() method of the current object should call Dispose(Boolean) with the Boolean parameter set to false to release only unmanaged resources.
