Returning from inside the scope of a 'using' statement?

Question

I've got some code that looks like this:

using (DBDataContext dc = new DBDataContext(ConnectionString))
{
    Main main = new Main
    {
     ClientTime = clientTime
    };
    dc.Mains.InsertOnSubmit(main);
    dc.SubmitChanges();
    return main.ID;
}

If I return from inside a "using", will the using still clean up?

Answer 1

Yes, and that's one of the big advantages of using it.

Answer 2

Yes, it will.

Answer 3

Yes. It really is just the equivalent of a try/finally statement - and finally blocks get executed however the try block exits, whether through an exception, a return statement, or just getting to the end of the block.

Answer 4

Yes, all object instances that were initialized in the resource-acquisition part of the using statement will have their Dispose() method called automatically.

Answer 5

Yes it will clean up. I see this as C#'s poor ass attempt to support the Resource Acquisition Is Initialization pattern.
