Handing out Disposable objects
Vince asks a question about handing out Disposable objects:
Lets say I have a class that has a method that returns a new DataSet:
public DataSet GetData();
I'll have no control over the DataSet being disposed. As an object creator
is it my concern that the object I created eventually gets disposed or
should I not care and trust that the consumer of this method will do the
right thing?
A good thread to read. I especially liked Frans’ response:
When you buy a happy meal at McDonalds, you're responsible for disposing the left overs and the rest of the trash, not Donald (sic) McD.
