MemoryStream in Using Statement - Do I need to call close()

Jayden Bell 2154 03-Feb-2014

When using a memory stream in a using statement do I need to call close? For instance is ms.Close() needed here?

  using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteArray)) 
    {  
      // stuff 
      ms.Close(); 
    }

Hi jayden,

No, you don't need. It will be called by the .Dispose() method which is automatically called:

using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteArray))
{ 
    // stuff
}
