The using statement only works withclasses that implement the "IDisposable interface." I'm not sure what kind of object model this is. If a typical COM library, IDisposable is not supported. If a "primary interop assembly" has been created for using Lotus Notes with native .NET classes, then IDisposable may be supported ,and thus the "using" statement. In general, one does not need to dispose of objects in .NET programming because the garbage colletctor will do so when needed. Particularly memory-intensive data structures are worth disposing, however, if possible. the Marshal.ReleaseComObject can be used for COM objects.
