Dispose of an SPWeb that is being returned from a function
-

Question
We have code where at times we'll be returning an SPWeb object from a function. So for example:
public SPWeb getDeptWeb()
{
SPWeb deptWeb = SpSite.OpenWeb(SpContext.Web.ID);
...
return deptWeb;
}
How can we dispose of the SPWeb object in this instance? Or is it sufficient to dispose it where we're accepting the returned parameter?
Solution
The best way is probably to dispose of the SPWeb
in the caller, e.g. with the using statement:
public SPWeb getDeptWeb()
{
SPWeb deptWeb = SpSite.OpenWeb(SpContext.Web.ID);
// ...
return deptWeb;
}
public void Foo()
{
using (SPWeb deptWeb = getDeptWeb()) {
// Do something with the website...
}
}
