Dispose, when is it called?
- by Snake
Consider the following code:
namespace DisposeTest
{
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Calling Test");
Test();
Console.WriteLine("Call to Test done");
}
static void Test()
{
DisposeImplementation di = new DisposeImplementation();
}
}
internal class DisposeImplementation : IDisposable
{
~DisposeImplementation()
{
Console.WriteLine("~ in DisposeImplementation instance called");
}
public void Dispose()
{
Console.WriteLine("Dispose in DisposeImplementation instance called");
}
}
}
The Dispose just never get's called, even if I put a wait loop after the Test(); invocation. So that quite sucks. I want to write a class that is straightforward and very easy to use, to make sure that every possible resource is cleaned up. I don't want to put that responsibilty to the user of my class.
Possible solution: use using, or call Dispose myself(basicly the same). Can I force the user to use a using? Or can I force the dispose to be called?
Calling GC.Collect(); after Test(); doesn't work either.
Putting di to null doesn't invoke Dispose either. The Deconstructor DOES work, so the object get's deconstructed when it exits Test()
