Missing ClientBase<TChannel>.Close()

[EPinci]

Hello,

Looks like the method ClientBase.Close() is no longer there.
How do I close a client?

Thank you.

Hi @EPinci, you can call Dispose() on it

wcf/src/System.ServiceModel.Primitives/ref/System.ServiceModel.Primitives.cs

Line 142 in 0066c64

void System.IDisposable.Dispose() { }

Understood, thank you.

Can I ask you to comment on this article: this is widely reported around and does it still apply?

Thank you.

You might consider bringing this back in the references. We brought back all Close() members in CoreFx and I see you kept the Close method in the implementation. The Close/Dispose confusion didn't outweigh the sheer number of hits on the missing Close methods.

You might also consider looking at a diff for other types that were subsetted "on principle". We've backed off most of those principles since 2.0. /cc @terrajobst @danmosemsft

@ericstj I opened #3101 to do this work.

Sorry I missed that this one was actually fixed. Thanks for opening the new issue.
