Entity Framework 1 - Closing DB Connection

Question

Do we need to close DB connection if we are using Entity Model 1 with Web Forms ?

Answer 1

You should use the using-Statement to make sure your EDM model gets properly disposed after usage. EF will cover closing the connection then, if necessary.

using(MyEntities _db = new MyEntities())
{
    // do stuff here
    // ...
} // _db gets automagically disposed here
