IDisposable Implementation

Makes any class disposable. Generates the Dispose pattern and disposes the specified fields and properties. This feature is identical to the Implement IDisposable code provider.

Selectable items: members included in the dispose pattern. If the IDisposable Implementation action finds no disposable members, it adds the default interface implementation.

Options:

  • Fields can be null

Check this option if the fields or properties for which you are going to define the dispose pattern can potentially have a null value. Use this option to check the members for null before disposing these members.

  • Type can be inheritable

Check this option to create another protected virtual Dispose method. This method accepts a boolean parameter. This option allows you to disable the actual disposing.

  • Type contains unmanaged resources

Check this option to create the ReleaseUnmanagedResources method and the destructor. This destructor calls ReleaseUnmanagedResources and optionally calls Dispose.

Example
