InitializeComponent And Dispose Function

See more:

C#

VB

I notice in some projects (in Code Project and others), the developers move the "InitializeComponent" and "Dispose" to Form Code (put it in the form)

Why they do so ? and how i can benefit from this move ?


Example :

[][Sticky Windows]

Form 1 :

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;

namespace WindowsApplication1
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Summary description for Form1.
    /// </summary>
    public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
    {
        private System.Windows.Forms.Button button1;
        /// <summary>
        /// Required designer variable.
        /// </summary>
        private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

        public Form1()
        {
            //
            // Required for Windows Form Designer support
            //
            InitializeComponent();

            //
            // TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
            //

        //Blue.Windows.StickyWindow.RegisterExternalReferenceForm ( this );
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Clean up any resources being used.
        /// </summary>
        protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
        {
            if( disposing )

                }
            }
            base.Dispose( disposing );
        }
