IDisposable Pattern For C# Objects
Hello everybody,
today I want to share my usage if IDisposable interface in C#.
Before code presentation some explanations:
1. If created by me class uses some unmanaged resources then it means that I should also implement IDisposable interface in order to clean memory.
2. Clean objects as soon as I finished usage of it.
3. In my dispose method I iterate over all IDisposable members of class and call Dispose.
4. In my Dispose method call GC.SuppressFinalize(this) in order to notify garbage collector that my object was already cleaned up. I do it because calling of GC is expensive operation.
5. As additional precaution I try to make possible calling of Dispose() multiple times.
6. Sometime I add private member _disposed and check in method calls did object was cleaned up. And if it was cleaned up then generate ObjectDisposedException
public class SomeClass : IDisposable { /// <summary> /// As usually I don't care about it /// </summary> public void SomeMethod() { if (_disposed) throw new ObjectDisposedException("SomeClass instance been disposed"); } public void Dispose() { Dispose(true); } private bool _disposed; protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing) { if (_disposed) return; if (disposing)//we are in the first call { } _disposed = true; } }
