Add a code analyzer to ensure that razor pages that define Dispose actually implement IDisposable

Is there an existing issue for this?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.

It’s very easy when writing a Razor page to forget to add the @implements IDisposable line at the top when implementing the Dispose pattern. This can mean that developers can unwittingly have dangling handlers which will cause memory leaks because the Dispose method they carefully wrote will never actually get called.

Describe the solution you’d like

It would be great to have a code analyzer in VS that will put a wiggly red line under Dispose methods that are declared in a .razor file that doesn’t explicitly have the statement @implements IDisposable.

@Webreaper thanks for contacting us.

The compiler should take care of that by producing a compile time error if you don’t have a Dispose method within your implementation.
