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

If the caller of your function is responsible for dealing with any exceptions the using statement is a nice way of ensuring resources are cleaned up no matter the outcome.

It allows you to place exception handling code at layer/assembly boundaries and helps prevent other functions becoming too cluttered.

Of course, it really depends on the types of exceptions thrown by your code. Sometimes you should use try-catch-finally rather than a using statement. My habit is to always start with a using statement for IDisposables (or have classes that contain IDisposables also implement the interface) and add try-catch-finally as needed.
