[fdo-users] .net Wrapper quirks

[Donald Cameron]

I find my code throws exceptions on termination if I don't dispose of any readers I have created during its execution.

Sorry to necro this discussion but it seems the dreaded
System.AccessViolationException has reared its ugly head again in my testing
of FDO Toolbox with the PostGIS and OGR providers (I'm testing on the trunk
build of FDO). I guess I need clarification on the following matters:

1 - Dispose() or no? Should I just be letting the GC do its job. Could I be
screwing up reference counts by Disposing objects myself, thus possibly
causing these errors?

2 - The devguide states that method chaining is bad. Does this still apply
with the managed wrappers?
