# Frederik said on December 11, 2004 2:35 PM:: Both, preferably, but Dispose() will close the stream as well and thus is 'required'.
# Matt said on December 11, 2004 2:37 PM:: Without consulting anything, aren't they both achieving the same end of disposing the stream resources? With .Close() just being more intuitive for people coming from various programming backgrounds. I'd be interested in knowing the reality, so someone correct my ignorance!

# Raymond Lewallen said on December 13, 2004 6:28 AM:: Should probably call both, but Close() will call Dispose(), so Close() is the only one you really need to be calling.
