Can the C# using statement be written without the curly braces?

Question

I was browsing a coworkers c# code today and found the following:

    using (MemoryStream data1 = new MemoryStream())
    using (MemoryStream data2 = new MemoryS         


        

Answer 1

The same rules apply when you omit the curly braces in a for or an if statement.

Incidentally if you reflect into the compiled code, the compiler decompiler adds the braces.
