Iterating through Xref

[brianchapmandesign]

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))
{
    // ...
}
