dear all,

i know the difference between close and dispose, close returns the connection to the pool and dispose cleans out its unmanaged resources and drops it out of pool ( kill it).

in web services , i think there is no pools.
because each call to a web service runs as a separate application right ??

as a result there is no pool of connections to return back to when the web service is done working.

so in your opinion should i dispose the connection in web services after closing them as the server will handle tons of requests ( this is a heavy traffic service ? ???? )

thx in advance for all
