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。

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的另一个重要用途是实例化一个模态对话框。

Using frm as new Form1

    Form1.ShowDialog

    ' Do stuff here

End Using

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
}

另一个对象立即被处置的合理使用的例子:

using (IDataReader myReader = DataFunctions.ExecuteReader(CommandType.Text, sql.ToString(), dp.Parameters, myConnectionString)) 
{
    while (myReader.Read()) 
    {
        MyObject theObject = new MyObject();
        theObject.PublicProperty = myReader.GetString(0);
        myCollection.Add(theObject);
    }
}
