Forum: IronRuby IronRuby idiom for using (IDisposable) ?

Hello,

Is there a built-in way to achieve what C# 'using' does, with IronRuby ?

Although it's pretty easy to roll your own (
http://myotherpants.com/2009/09/disposable-code), I'd like to use the
built-in way if there's one.

thanks!

yes

you don't need to provide the true anymore. It was a bug a year ago and 
I
still have to update that

Thanks Ivan,

I like your version :)

Will something similar be added directly into IronRuby Kernel ?

it's not a rubyism as such, so I don't think it actually belongs in the
core. But opinions may vary

agreed - it's an ironrubyism :)

I think we can add it straight to the FAQ, to the very least!

I'm definitely against adding such a feature to the core (as Ivan
said, it doesn't belong to ruby), but...

require 'ironrubysm'      # just to reuse your term, but it could be
something along these lines :-)

Maybe we can have a separate gem that groups a bunch of typical .NET
patterns in a more rubyish way. Thoughts?

I think it's a nice idea; it would be a bit like Facets (
http://facets.rubyforge.org/), small bits that you can enable if you 
wish.

I also think it's a nice idea. I have a few other such methods
(Array#to_clr_a, Time#to_clr_time, and the godawful Array#to_2d_a) that 
seem
like they'd also be a good fit :-)
