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

If there is only one instruction which follow the statement, the bracets are not needed. It is just like with if statement.

if(true)
{
   Console.Writeline("hello")
}

means the same that

if(true)
   Console.Writeline("hello")
