using statement with multiple variables

I have several disposable object to manage. The CA2000 rule ask me to dispose all my object before exiting the scope. I don’t like to use the .Dispose() method if I can use the using clause. In my specific method I should write many using in using:

using (Person person = new Person()) {
    using (Adress address = new Address()) { 
        // my code
    }
}

Is it possible to write this on another way like:

using (Person person = new Person(); Adress address = new Address())

Answer 1

You can declare two or more objects in a using statement (separated by commas). The downside is that they have to be the same type.

Legal:

using (Person joe = new Person(), bob = new Person())

Illegal:

using (Person joe = new Person(), Address home = new Address())

The best you can do is nest the using statements.

using (Person joe = new Person())
using (Address home = new Address())
{
  // snip
}
