Namespace:  System.Net.Sockets
Assembly:  System.Net (in System.Net.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Sub Dispose

[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public void Dispose()

Implements

IDisposable.Dispose()

Remarks

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

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