SqlCeConnection.Dispose Method

Releases all resources used by the current instance of the SqlCeConnection class.

Namespace:  System.Data.SqlServerCe
Assembly:  System.Data.SqlServerCe (in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Dispose
'Usage
Dim instance As SqlCeConnection

instance.Dispose()
public void Dispose()
public:
void Dispose()
member Dispose : unit -> unit 
public function Dispose()

Remarks

Call Dispose() when you are finished using the SqlCeConnection. The Dispose() method leaves the SqlCeConnection in an unusable state. After calling Dispose(), you must release all references to the SqlCeConnection so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the SqlCeConnection was occupying. For more information, see Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources and Implementing a Dispose Method.

Note

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