Do I need to dispose/close XDocument.Load(string)?

Question

I can't find any info about whether or not I should dispose/close this object after using it... Here is the msdn link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb343181.aspx

Answer 1

No, you don't - it doesn't even implement IDisposable. The XDocument and XElement classes use XmlReader under the covers and handle the disposing of the underlying reader for you.

Answer 2

Easiest way to find out is to look if it implements IDisposable
