[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example creates an OdbcConnection and then disposes of it.

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] Note   This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of Dispose. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.

[Visual Basic] 
Public Sub OdbcConnectionHereAndGone()
    Dim myConnection As New _
       OdbcConnection("DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=MyServer;" & _
                      "Trusted_connection=yes;DATABASE=northwind;")
    myConnection.Open()
    'Calling Dispose also calls OdbcConnection.Close.
    myConnection.Dispose()
End Sub

[C#] 
public void OdbcConnectionHereAndGone() 
{
   OdbcConnection myConnection = new 
        OdbcConnection("DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=MyServer;" + 
                       "Trusted_connection=yes;DATABASE=northwind;");
   myConnection.Open();
   //Calling Dispose also calls OdbcConnection.Close.
   myConnection.Dispose();
}

[C++] 
public:
    void OdbcConnectionHereAndGone()
    {
        OdbcConnection* myConnection = new OdbcConnection(S"DRIVER= {SQL Server};SERVER=MyServer; Trusted_connection=yes;DATABASE=northwind;");
        myConnection->Open();
        //Calling Dispose also calls OdbcConnection::Close.
        myConnection->Dispose();
    };
