Iterating through Xref

Any downsides or things I need to watch out for when iterating through an xref like this?

var xdb = bd.GetXrefDatabase(false); if (xdb != null) { using (Transaction xrt = xdb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { BlockTableRecord btRecord = (BlockTableRecord)xrt.GetObject(SymbolUtilityServices.GetBlockModelSpaceId(xdb), OpenMode.ForRead);

Hi,

I'd just wrap the xref database in a using statement to insure the database is disposed when you've done with it.

using (var xdb = bd.GetXrefDatabase(false)) { // ... }
