Is it allowed to call ICommunicationObject.Close() when the CommunicationState of channel is being in CommunicationState.Opening?

Inside of IDisposable.Dispose() method I launch ICommunicationObject.Close() method of my channel. Is it allowed to call ICommunicationObject.Close() when the CommunicationState of the channel is CommunicationState.Opening?

I.e. is such checking sufficient for the ICommunicationObject instance closing?

ICommunicationObject commObj = channel as ICommunicationObject;
if (null != commObj &&
    commObj.State == CommunicationState.Opened ||
    commObj.State == CommunicationState.Opening) {

    commObj.Close();
}
Solution

  • I believe you can simply check commObj.State != CommunicationState.Closed.
