IDisposable Winform

What is the best practice for implementing IDisposable on a Winform?

Ideally I would be able to hook into the Dispos(bool) override in the generated code to dispose the manually added IDisposable object. Any recommendations on how to do this properly?

Thanks.

I unregister any events in the Dispose method found in the form's designer.cs 

    protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (disposing && (components != null))
        {
            components.Dispose();
        }
        _frmFind.RaiseFindEvent -= _frmFind_RaiseFindEvent;
        base.Dispose(disposing);
    }

You can move that Dispose implementation out of the .designer.cs and in your .cs.

But, then your field needs to be a Component (implement the IComponent interface or something similar). Wouldn't that be a little overkill ?

Maybe you can attach an eventhandler to the Disposing event, and dispose your fields in that eventhandler ?

(Or just add them to the Dispose method - I don't think it will be a problem, since afaik, the code in the Dispose method is not regenerated ... Ideally, the Dispose method implementation shouldn't have been in the *.designer.cs class ... ).
