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);
          }
      }
   }

}

“using”还可以用于解决名称空间冲突。

关于这个主题，我写了一个简短的教程，请参阅http://www.davidarno.org/c-howtos/aliases-overcoming-name-conflicts/。

当使用ADO时。NET中，你可以在connection对象或reader对象上使用keywork。这样，当代码块完成时，它将自动处理您的连接。

比如:

using (var conn = new SqlConnection("connection string"))
{
   conn.Open();

    // Execute SQL statement here on the connection you created
}

这个SqlConnection将被关闭，而不需要显式地调用. close()函数，并且即使抛出异常也会发生，而不需要try/catch/finally。

Rhino模拟记录回放语法有趣地使用了using。

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。
