GraphicsDevice.Dispose Method

Immediately releases the unmanaged resources used by this object.

Overload List

Name	Description
GraphicsDevice.Dispose ()	Immediately releases the unmanaged resources used by this object.
GraphicsDevice.Dispose (Boolean)	Immediately releases the unmanaged resources used by this object.

Remarks

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

Note

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