Remarks

When building Windows Store apps with the Microsoft .NET Framework, this interface is hidden and developers should use the System.IDisposable interface.

You should implement this interface for Windows Runtime objects that wrap exclusive system resources, such as file handles and network sockets. You do not implement this interface for Windows Runtime objects that wrap shared system resources, such as memory and shareable devices.

Close methods aren't callable through Visual C++ component extensions (C++/CX) on Windows Runtime class instances where the class implemented IClosable. Instead, C++/CX code for runtime classes should call the destructor or set the last reference to null.
