Does a C# using statement perform try/finally?
- by Lirik
Suppose that I have the following code:
private void UpdateDB(QuoteDataSet dataSet, Strint tableName)
{
using(SQLiteConnection conn = new SQLiteConnection(_connectionString))
{
conn.Open();
using (SQLiteTransaction transaction = conn.BeginTransaction())
{
using (SQLiteCommand cmd = new SQLiteCommand("SELECT * FROM " + tableName, conn))
{
using (SQLiteDataAdapter sqliteAdapter = new SQLiteDataAdapter())
{
sqliteAdapter.Update(dataSet, tableName);
}
}
transaction.Commit();
}
}
}
The C# documentation states that with a using statement the object within the scope will be disposed and I've seen several places where it's suggested that we don't need to use try/finally clause.
I usually surround my connections with a try/finally, and I always close the connection in the finally clause. Given the above code, is it reasonable to assume that the connection will be closed if there is an exception?
