Hi,
At first glance that makes sense - and I've seen the same advice elsewhere.
But taken to its logical conclusion wouldn't that mean that the implementing of IDisposable would need to 'ripple up' through every class that, however indirectly, accessed a .NET class implementing IDisposable.
And even then the idea seems questionable. If the innermost IDisposable is not going to run until the highest level one executes then where's the benefit.
