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

Exactly what your colleague said, that is the equivalent of nesting the statements. The dispose for data2 would be called immediately before the dispose function for data1.
