closing open connections and other resources

My requirement is a certain database connection should be
closed only when the object is unloaded from memory. Is
the class destructor a good place to close open database
connections? Thanks in advance for your reply.

There are a lot of good reasons not to do this. Leaving connections open
indefinitely has many potential problems, connection pooling being the most
noticeable.
However, you could implement IDisposable and take care of it there.

Over the years I've gotten out of the habit of explicitly closing file objects (whether for reading or writing) since the right thing always seems to happen auto-magically (e.g. files get written to disk with no missing data). I've recently started do the same thing with database connections. I'm wondering if anyone has had trouble with this sort of "lazy" programming style. My assumption is the the database connection will get closed...

Hey all, Here's a question for you, my hosts have told me that that one my pages, php, was causing their server to reboot because there were too many open connections and that they should be closed.

I'm sorry about this verbose posting. This is a follow-up to my yesterday's posting. Thanks William for your reply.

My class library contains functions that perform lot of mathematical calculations and read a lot of data...

Hi there. I have a C# console application that extracts data to flat files. Some of my business partners begin consuming these extract files before I've had a chance to write the newest ones (I am extracting these files once a day beginning at midnight). Since one or more consumer has a particular extract file open, I need to detect this and then take action to close all open file connections so I can put the new extract file out onto...

We're running into a problem on our new site. Once a week or so, our site goes down with an 'out of memory error'. Rebooting the web server fixes things. Googling the error doesn't return many results (one, actually) and the suggested fix is to make sure you are manually closing all DB connections. I'm doing that now, but I had thought that asp.net had fairly robust automated cleanup, and that having to explicitely close every connection...
