I have code for which MemoryStream does not disposes the value.

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
string result = RandomFunction(out ms, string input) //the stream value is generated inside the Randomfunction
// Some code which uses the bytes of ms stream
ms.Close()

So even after Closing the stream. The variable ms does not dispose the value. Please suggest where I am going wrong.

Thanks in advance.

  • As it creates an issue of memory leakage and even by using the using() statement does not disposes the value.

  • Close and Dispose are synonyms, and using will call Dispose. So whatever symptoms you're experiencing, they are not related to the absence of Dispose. Note that disposal and garbage collection are distinct concepts. If you're experiencing a memory leak, you need to obtain a profiler or a memory dump and trace the GC Roots that are keeping objects alive longer than you believe they should be.
