Should I call Dispose() within a function after Return?

Question

Should I call .Dispose() after returning an object that implements IDisposable?

myDisposableObject Gimme() {
  //Code
  return disposableResult;
  disposableResult.Dispose();
}

In other words, is the object I return a copy, or is it the object itself? Thanks :)

Answer 1

It's the object itself. Don't call Dispose here, even if you reverse the order so that it gets called.
