Question

I have a method which returns System.Timers.Timer and then I use it along the code.
But MS Code Analysis gives a warning: CA2000: Dispose objects before losing scope
Is it possible to manually Dispose Timer and therefore not to spot such a message?

Thank you!

Since System.Timers.Timer impliments IDisposable you can wrap your method call in a using statement to make sure Dispose is called.

using(var timer = myClass.TimerMethod())
{
  // Do the work here
}
