When creating a new Windows Service project with VB.NET, the template that is used overrides and overloads the Dispose method from the base class.

However, this implementation does not pass FxCop analysis because if an exception occurs in the code before the call to MyBase.Dispose(disposing), then the base class' resources will not be disposed of correctly.

Use a Try ... Finally block and put the MyBase.Dispose(disposing) call in the Finally block.

Thanks for reporting this issue. I realize this issue has also been reported against C# (see http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=b6a57a3f-f361-4c71-a9f8-770dfc7f5936). Unfortunately, at this stage in the Whidbey product cycle, we're making very few changes and working on stabilizing the code base. So we are postponing this issue and will reconsider it for the next version of the product. You should of course feel free to manually change the code to pass the FxCop warning.

Thanks,
