Proper way to dispose a BitmapSource

Question

How are you supposed to dispose of a BitmapSource ?

// this wont work because BitmapSource doesnt implement IDisposable
using(BitmapSource bitmap = new Bitm         


        

Answer 1

You do not have to Dispose() a BitmapSource. Unlike some other "image" classes in the Framework, it does not wrap any native resources.

Just let it go out of scope, and the garbage collector will free its memory.
