C# using statement catch error

Question

I am just looking at the using statement, I have always known what it does but until now not tried using it, I have come up with the below code:

 using (SqlComma         


        

Answer 1

The using statement is actually changed into a try/finally block by the compiler in which the parameter of the using block is disposed of so long as it implements the IDisposable interface. Aside from ensuring the specified objects are properly disposed when they fall out of scope, there is really no error capturing gained by using this construct.

As is mentioned by TheSoftwareJedi above, you will want to make sure both the SqlConnection and SqlCommand objects are disposed of properly. Stacking both into a single using block is a bit messy, and might not do what you think it does.

Also, be mindful of using the try/catch block as logic. It's a code smell that my nose has a particular dislike for, and often used by newbies or those of us in a big hurry to meet a deadline.
