Your typical web service call to an OWIN based application goes throguth the following path:

The purpose of OwinHttpMessageHandler is to allow you to do this:

This is useful for:

1. End-to-end testing where you don't want to hit the network stack for performance or build server reasons.
2. Testing your owin middleware or owin compatible framework.
3. Invoking web service http endpoints or issuing requests against web applications in embedded scenarios through a common pipeline.

Feeback welcome, as always.

Given a disposable class and a consumer:

public class DisposableClass : IDisposable
{
	public string Text { get; set; }

	public void Dispose()
	{}
}

public class Consumer
{
	public Consumer()
	{
		var disposableClass = new DisposableClass();
		disposableClass.Text = "S";
	}
}

ReSharper's quick fix will suggest to use object initializer:

Following this suggestion gives:

public class Consumer
{
	public Consumer()
	{
		var disposableClass = new DisposableClass { Text = "S" };
	}
}

But there is is a problem with this. If you run code analysis you will get the the following warning:

CA2000 : Microsoft.Reliability : In method 'Consumer.Consumer()', call System.IDisposable.Dispose on object '<>g__initLocal0' before all references to it are out of scope.

The problem is that under the hood, the compiler is creating a temporary local of DisposableClass, <>g_intLocal0, initializing it, then assigning it to variable disposableClass.

It's this local that it not getting disposed that causes the code analysis warning.

Perhaps the compiler could do a better job here but ReSharper could definitely do a better job:

• Only suggest the object initializer quick fix for classes that are not disposable.
• Include a quick fix to remove object initializers from disposable objects.

The issue has been reported, but infortunately JetBrains have marked it as "Won't Fix".

Edit 22/09/12: Looks like this will be fixed in Resharper 7.1.
