using() statement will it call dispose when return is called

[LP]

Hi,
Considering the following code:

using(mySQLconn )
{

if (someCondition= =true)
return 0;
//more code after return
//do some db calls
}

return 1;
Will .mySQLconn.Disp ose(); still be invoked even when return is called?
Thank you

Actaully, Dispose should be called when the code block for USING ends, which
is before your "return" statement.

LP,
The short answer is "yes". The using statment is the same as:
try{
// do something with the connection
// maybe return
}finally{
mySQLconn.Dispo se();
}

No matter what, Dispose() will be called. . . and because of the
implementation of the Dispose() method on SqlConnection, Close() is
called from within the Dispose() method.

This is misleading. If your return statement is
return expression;
then the expression is evaluated "before" Dispose() gets invoked.

The big plus of "using" is that it guarantees that Dispose will be called
regardless of how the block terminates (after the last statement of the
block, via a return, break or continue, or via an exception). It is a short
cut for a try { ... } finally { resource.Dispos e(); } as already mentioned.
