I am thinking of basing it on this.

What was wrong with the reply you got last time you asked this exact same
question? Why are you starting a whole new thread?

..NET prefers explicit Close/Dispose for its connection pools.

I think you should follow their example.

If you don't understand an answer, then it's worth saying so rather
than just repeating the question.

Is he trying to say that objects in th pools must implement
IDisposable. and in my Dispose method inform the Object pool that this
object is available?

Yes. You can't get a reference count in .NET, partly because .NET
doesn't use reference counting.

There are other ways.

But doing it the way MS does .NET framework is probably objectively
good (because MS has spend time considering different solutions) and
definitely subjective good (because C# programmers are used to
the pattern).
