Question

I am trying to dispose XmlWriter object:

try {     [System.Xml.XmlWriter] $writer = [System.Xml.XmlWriter]::Create('c:\some.xml') } finally {     $writer.Dispose() } 

Error:

Method invocation failed because [System.Xml.XmlWellFormedWriter] doesn’t contain a method named ‘Dispose’.

On the other side:

 $writer -is [IDisposable]  # True 

What should I do?

Answer 1

Dispose is protected on System.Xml.XmlWriter. You should use Close instead.

$writer.Close
