Do you use "using" declaration instead of use explicitly "dispose"?

<introEmbed body={<> Don't explicitly use "dispose" to close objects and dispose of them, the "using" statement will do all of them for you. It is another awesome tool that helps reduce coding effort and possible issues. </>} />

static int WriteLinesToFile(IEnumerable<string> lines)
{
  // We must declare the variable outside of the using block
  // so that it is in scope to be returned.
  int skippedLines = 0;
  var file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("WriteLines2.txt")
  foreach (string line in lines)
  {
    if (!line.Contains("Second"))
    {
      file.WriteLine(line);
    }
    else
    {
      skippedLines++;
    }
  }
  file.Dispose();
  return skippedLines;
}
