IDisposable.Dispose()

Remarks

When you are finished using this instance of WebResponse, call Dispose() to release all resources used by this instance. You should eliminate further references to this WebResponse instance so that the garbage collector can reclaim the memory of the instance instead of keeping it alive for finalization.

Dispose() calls the Dispose(Boolean) method, which contains the code to release managed and unmanaged resources.
