Using dotnet 2.0,

Just wondering if anyone knows if calling Dispose() on
System.IO.MemoryStream does anything useful.

Who knows, maybe it will in a future version of .NET... personally, I
still put all mine in using() anyway.

Yes, it calls Stream.Dispose(), which in turn will dispose an event created
as a result of calling asynchronous methods (.BeginRead(), .BeginWrite())
if they were not all finished before the stream was finalized.

So you better call .Dispose(), or you might leak a single event handle in
very unlikely circumstances!

I can not imagine MemoryStream ever holding unmanaged data.

But I still agree with the conclusion: call Dispose on anything
that implements IDisposable is a good thing.
