The
Design Guidelines for Finalization, Dispose, and Memory Management have been
updated. .NET is a maturing platform and not only will design guidelines change,
so will terminology. What we used to call destructors in C# are now being called
finalizers, and the Dispose method is now being called a destructor.
class
Foo : IDisposable
{
//Destructor
public void
Dispose() {}
//Finalizer
~Foo(){}
}
I also saw an example of stacking using statements, which I've not considered
doing before. For example, notice using statement for the connection object
stacked on top of the using statement for the command object...
using(SqlConnection
connection = new
SqlConnection(CONNECTIONSTRING))
using(SqlCommand
command = new SqlCommand("SELECT CompanyName
FROM Customers", connection))
{
connection.Open();
using(SqlDataReader reader =
command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection))
{
while(reader.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine(reader.GetString(0));
}
}
}
