Resource Management Scope

Snippet

Resource Management Scope

The 'using' statement ensures that objects implementing IDisposable are cleaned up from memory immediately after use.

snippet.cs

csharp

using System.IO;
 
public class Program {
    public static void Main() {
        using (StringReader reader = new StringReader("Hello World")) {
            string content = reader.ReadToEnd();
            System.Console.WriteLine(content);
        }
    }
}

Breakdown

using (StringReader reader = ...)

Defines a scope where the reader object will be automatically disposed at the end.
