Do I need to force a Dispose after a LINQ query?

Question

My DBA says that there are way too many connection open and he thinks it is my code in .net that is leaving them open.

I am using LINQ querys and EF code first.

Check this out, here's a standard protocol on how to use IDisposable objects. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yh598w02.aspx

It says:

"As a rule, when you use an IDisposable object, you should declare and instantiate it in a using statement."

As they have access to unmanaged resources, you should always consider a "using" statement.
