SharpGen.Runtime.ComObject.Release

[Gavin-Williams]

When I call SharpGen.Runtime.ComObject.Release with..

uint refCount = DxDevice.Release();

Does that give all live objects on the device. That's the way I've been using it, but I just wanted to check because I'm going over my shutdown code and I want to be sure I understand it.

Edit: Actually, all I'm doing here is checking if the device itself has a reference count aren't I ?

Edit 2: Actually, I don't know if I should be calling this where I do because I may be skipping my live objects reporting and device disposal. Can someone just comment on this please?

  Dispose(...) 
  {
          ...
          DxDeviceContext.ClearState();
          DxDeviceContext.Flush();
          DxDeviceContext.Release();
          DxDeviceContext.Dispose();
          DxDeviceContext = null;

          #if DEBUG
          uint refCount = DxDevice.Release();
          if (refCount > 0)
          {
              System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine($"Direct3D11: There are {refCount} unreleased references left on the device");
              ID3D11Debug d3d11Debug = DxDevice.QueryInterfaceOrNull<ID3D11Debug>();
              if (d3d11Debug != null)
              {
                  ... 
                  d3d11Debug.ReportLiveDeviceObjects( .... );
                  d3d11InfoQueue.Dispose();
                  d3d11Debug.Dispose();
              }
              DxAdapter.Dispose();

During debug you can call Release and check refCount of device and report leaks, or you can use DXGIGetDebugInterface1 as well, take look here:

During NON Debug build you can just Dispose objects.
