Close() Vs Dispose Method

Difference between Close() and Dispose() Method

The basic difference between Close() and Dispose() is, when a Close() method is called, any managed resource can be temporarily closed and can be opened once again. It means that, with the same object the resource can be reopened or used. Where as Dispose() method permanently removes any resource ((un)managed) from memory for cleanup and the resource no longer exists for any further processing.
