How does one dispose of a field


I recently started using code analyzer and OOOO! boy do i have a lot of violations lol. most are of iDisposable i have been doing my research and so far i have managed to dispose of a few. however i think i have exhausted the tiny bit of smarts i got so help anyone.

public partial class Form1 : Form already implements the idisposable method i just don't know in what way i should use it in this case.

   public partial class Form1 : Form 

   {

     private readonly Label CompPany = new Label();

    private readonly SpeechRecognitionEngine _recognizer = 
    new SpeechRecognitionEngine(new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en- 
    US"));

   }

i need to know how to dispose of this kind of field


Solution

  • A Form already implements IDisposable. All you need to do is override Dispose(bool) and call _recognizer.Dispose() if disposing is true:

    public partial class Form1 : Form 
    {
        private readonly SpeechRecognitionEngine _recognizer = 
            new SpeechRecognitionEngine(new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"));
    
        protected override void Dispose (bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing)
            {
                _recognizer.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }
    }
    

    By this, whenever the form is disposed, also the created SpeechRecognitionEngine will be disposed.
