Remarks

The distributor calls this method to cause the delivery protocol to shut down. You should release any resources held by the delivery protocol when you implement this method.

If the delivery protocol implements asynchronous delivery and there are outstanding requests at the time Close is called, these requests must be either completed or aborted before Close returns.

Example

For an example of how to implement the Close method, see the IDeliveryProtocol interface topic.
