Immediately releases the unmanaged resources used by this object.

Namespace: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics
Assembly: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics (in Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Dispose

public void Dispose()

Call Dispose when you are finished using the GraphicsResource. The Dispose method leaves the GraphicsResource in an unusable state. After calling Dispose, you must release all references to the GraphicsResource so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the GraphicsResource was occupying.

Note:
Always call Dispose before you release your last reference to the GraphicsResource. Otherwise, the resources it is using will not be freed until the garbage collector calls the GraphicsResource object's Finalize method.
