using可以用来调用IDisposable。它还可以用于别名类型。

using (SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection()) { /* Code */}
using f1 = System.Windows.Forms.Form;

Microsoft documentation states that using has a double function (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zhdeatwt.aspx), both as a directive and in statements. As a statement, as it was pointed out here in other answers, the keyword is basically syntactic sugar to determine a scope to dispose an IDisposable object. As a directive, it is routinely used to import namespaces and types. Also as a directive, you can create aliases for namespaces and types, as pointed out in the book "C# 5.0 In a Nutshell: The Definitive Guide" (http://www.amazon.com/5-0-Nutshell-The-Definitive-Reference-ebook/dp/B008E6I1K8), by Joseph and Ben Albahari. One example:

namespace HelloWorld
{
    using AppFunc = Func<IDictionary<DateTime, string>, List<string>>;
    public class Startup
    {
        public static AppFunc OrderEvents() 
        {
            AppFunc appFunc = (IDictionary<DateTime, string> events) =>
            {
                if ((events != null) && (events.Count > 0))
                {
                    List<string> result = events.OrderBy(ev => ev.Key)
                        .Select(ev => ev.Value)
                        .ToList();
                    return result;
                }
                throw new ArgumentException("Event dictionary is null or empty.");
            };
            return appFunc;
        }
    }
}

这是一种明智的做法，因为滥用这种做法会损害代码的清晰性。在DotNetPearls (http://www.dotnetperls.com/using-alias)中有一个关于c#别名的很好的解释，也提到了优点和缺点。

Using as语句自动调用指定对象的dispose 对象。对象必须实现IDisposable接口。它是 可以在一条语句中使用多个对象，只要它们是 同类型的。

CLR将您的代码转换为CIL。using语句被转换成try和finally语句块。这就是using语句在CIL中的表示方式。使用语句可分为三个部分:获取、使用和处置。首先获取资源，然后使用包含finally子句的try语句。然后在finally子句中对对象进行处理。

它也可以用于创建作用域，例如:

class LoggerScope:IDisposable {
   static ThreadLocal<LoggerScope> threadScope = 
        new ThreadLocal<LoggerScope>();
   private LoggerScope previous;

   public static LoggerScope Current=> threadScope.Value;

   public bool WithTime{get;}

   public LoggerScope(bool withTime){
       previous = threadScope.Value;
       threadScope.Value = this;
       WithTime=withTime;
   }

   public void Dispose(){
       threadScope.Value = previous;
   }
}


class Program {
   public static void Main(params string[] args){
       new Program().Run();
   }

   public void Run(){
      log("something happend!");
      using(new LoggerScope(false)){
          log("the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog!");
          using(new LoggerScope(true)){
              log("nested scope!");
          }
      }
   }

   void log(string message){
      if(LoggerScope.Current!=null){
          Console.WriteLine(message);
          if(LoggerScope.Current.WithTime){
             Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);
          }
      }
   }

}

并不是说它非常重要，而是使用它还可以用来动态地更改资源。

是的，正如前面提到的，是一次性的，但是可能您特别不希望在执行的其余时间内它们与其他资源不匹配。所以你要把它处理掉，这样它就不会影响到其他地方。

因为很多人仍然这样做:

using (System.IO.StreamReader r = new System.IO.StreamReader(""))
using (System.IO.StreamReader r2 = new System.IO.StreamReader("")) {
   //code
}

我想很多人仍然不知道你可以做到:

using (System.IO.StreamReader r = new System.IO.StreamReader(""), r2 = new System.IO.StreamReader("")) {
   //code
}
