Exploring GDI+ : Using The Brush

2/17/2008 9:24:36 AM #

Actually, you are right, Brushes are objects that cause memory leaks and need to be disposed.
They should be used like this :

using(SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Yellow))
{ /* use the brush */ }

Also, for using known Color solid brushes there is a static class named Brushes which has some predefined brushes that can be used as an alternative to not get in the headache of clearing the memory >> which is Brushes.Red
In big applications that should be taken care of.
Thanks for pointing out this.
