release resource for WebClient class

Hello everyone,


I find there is no resource release method for WebClient class, e.g. a method called "Close".

My usage scenario is,

1. Creating a new instance of WebClient;
2. Post byte[] data using UploadData method, and retrieve return data also using byte[].

In my scenario, are there any need to call some methods to release the resource (I suepect there is request stream handle and response stream handle to release)?


thanks in advance,
George

In the long run, the GC will take care of it. But WebClient is IDisposable, so why not use the "using" pattern:

Code:

---

using( WebClient wc = new WebClient() )
{
// do stuff with wc
}
