IDisposable Winform

What is the best practice for implementing IDisposable on a Winform?

  • I have a dialog which extends System.Windows.Forms.Form
  • The generated designer.cs already contains an implementation of the virtual Dispose(bool) method
  • My form has a field added manually which implements IDisposable

Ideally I would be able to hook into the Dispos(bool) override in the generated code to dispose the manually added IDisposable object. Any recommendations on how to do this properly?

Thanks.

Solution

  • You can move that Dispose implementation out of the .designer.cs and in your .cs.
