    <p>Say I'm working with Sharepoint (this applies to other object models as well) and in the middle of my statement, I call a method, in this case "OpenWeb()", which creates an IDisposable SPWeb object. Now, I cannot call Dispose() on the SPWeb object because I don't have the reference to it. <strong>So do I need to be concerned about this leaking memory?</strong> </p> <pre><code>SPUser spUser = SPControl.GetContextSite(HttpContext.Current).OpenWeb().SiteUsers[@"foo\bar"]; </code></pre> <p>I know that I could have broken up the statement into multiple lines and get the SPWeb reference to call Dispose:</p> <pre><code>SPWeb spWeb = SPControl.GetContextSite(HttpContext.Current).OpenWeb(); SPUser spUser = spWeb.SiteUsers[@"foo\bar"]; spWeb.Dispose(); </code></pre> <p>Please keep in mind that my question is not about aesthetics, but more about what happens to the IDisposable object that I cannot explicitly call Dispose() on, since I don't have the reference. </p> <p>Sorry about not being clear enough when I first asked the question. I've since rephrased it. Thanks for all the responses so far.</p>

    1. COI can sympathize. There are many times when you call a method with IDisposable parameters, whose scopes begin and end with that method call. What do you do if it takes 5 IDisposable parameters - nest using statements 5 levels deep? Put 5 instantiations and 5 Disposes in a try..finally? Ugly.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
