Custom Dispose in designed form or user control

Question

I've created a custom WinForms UserControl and would like to override Dispose. However the code generated by the designed already contains a Dispose method. How can I add custom cleanup code to my component?

Answer 1

You can move the Dispose method from the code generated file into your control cs file. I've used this under .net 2.0, it should work on 4.0 as well.

Answer 2

It's badly documented but you can Cut & Paste the Dispose method over to your side of the partial class.
And then extend it.
