Hi.

When implementing a Dispose method for a class, is it enough to create a
method called Dispose, or is it mandatory to implement the IDisposable
interface on the class?

Thanks,

Erik Cruz

It would be a very good idea to implement IDisposable:

o It makes it clear that instances of your class *should* be disposed
o It allows users of C# to use the "using" construct
