What is the purpose of the using statement?

Junior C#
Quick Answer The using statement guarantees Dispose() is called when the block ends รขโ‚ฌโ€ even if an exception is thrown. Use with anything holding unmanaged resources: file streams, DB connections, HTTP clients. Without it, you must manually call Dispose() in a finally block every time.

Answer

The using statement ensures that disposable resources are released automatically when the block ends.
