I need to close a socket and use it immedeiatly again with another local
port. Is it enough to do socket.close() in order to release all resources,
or must I do anything more(like a delete or similar) before I use the "new"
operator?
Regards

You can't.

Yes, Close() is equivalent to Dispose(). But after you close the
socket, it can't be reused. You have to create a new instance.

If the socket is a connection-oriented socket (e.g. TCP), also make sure
you do a graceful shutdown when possible (i.e. there haven't been any
errors on the socket).
