The reason I ask - isn't the purpose of this construct to make sure the call to idisposable is accomplished when you want it to be?

>>>As long as there are no longer any other references to that class the garbage collector will clean it up. However, garbage collection doesn't occur immediately. It can take quite a while for it to clean up. Since .NET uses a generational garbage collector the longer MyBase lives the longer it can take for the GC to clean up other references held. It can look like a memory leak when it really isn't.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
