Stream.Dispose Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Releases all resources used by the Stream.
Namespace: System.IO
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Remarks
This method disposes the stream, by writing any changes to the backing store and closing the stream to release resources.
Calling Dispose allows the resources used by the Stream to be reallocated for other purposes.
Notes to Implementers
Place all cleanup logic for your stream object in Stream.Dispose(Boolean). Do not override Close.
Note that because of backward compatibility requirements, this method's implementation differs from the recommended guidance for the Dispose pattern. This method calls Close, which then calls Stream.Dispose(Boolean).
