== Why is this an issue?
When you use a https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/statements/using[`using` statement], the goal is to ensure the correct disposal of an https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.idisposable[`IDisposable`] instance when the control leaves the `using` statement block.
If you return that `IDisposable` instance inside the block, `using` will dispose it before the caller can use it, likely causing exceptions at runtime. You should either remove `using` statement or avoid returning the `IDisposable` in the `using` statement block.
== How to fix it
=== Code examples
==== Noncompliant code example
[source,csharp,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
public FileStream WriteToFile(string path, string text)
{
using (var fs = File.Create(path)) // Noncompliant: 'fs' is disposed at the end of the using scope
{
var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text);
fs.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
return fs;
}
}
----
==== Compliant solution
[source,csharp,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
public FileStream WriteToFile(string path, string text)
{
var fs = File.Create(path);
var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text);
fs.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
return fs; // Compliant: 'fs' is not disposed once the end of the scope is reached and the caller can use it
}
