Wrap an object in a disposable decorator to attempt to dispose the object later. This is useful when retrieving an instance of an object from a factory or container while only having an interface reference. If the interface does not implement IDisposable or IAsyncDisposable, but the concrete class does, this will allow you to dispose the instance without the need to check for the interface and cast it.

Wrap an object in a disposable decorator to attempt to dispose the object later. This is useful when retrieving an instance of an object from a factory or container while only having an interface reference. If the interface does not implement IDisposable, but the concrete class does, this will allow the instance to be disposed.
##Example 1
Use the simple TryDispose() method available on any object.
object obj = new object();
obj.TryDispose();
##Example 2
Wrap an object in a using statement. Use the instance property to access the object.
ITemporaryFolder tempFolder = TemporaryFolder.Factory.Create();
using (ITryDisposable<ITemporaryFolder> disposableTempFolder = TryDisposableFactory.Create(tempFolder))
{
string path = disposableTempFolder.Instance.Path;
// If tempFolder is disposable, it will get disposed, otherwise it will be ignored.
}
##Example 2
Use the following if the underlying object does not need to be accessed through the ITryDisposbale interface.
using (ITryDisposable disposableTempFolder = TryDisposableFactory.Create(tempFolder))
{
// If tempFolder is disposable, it will get disposed, otherwise it will be ignored.
}
