VB.NET example	C# example
Visual Basic example	Visual C++ 6.0 example

Syntax	short SendReleaseRequest (long hNet);
Overview	Refer to Working with DICOM Network Connections.

Remarks

(Medical Imaging Suite only) Sends a Release Request message to a connection.

Calling the SendReleaseRequest method generates a NetReceiveReleaseRequest event on the SCP. The SCP will call the SendReleaseResponse method which will generate a NetReceiveReleaseResponse event on the SCU. At this time the DICOM Association may be closed. For more information, refer to Closing a DICOM Associate Connection.

Please note that this method of closing a DICOM Association is preferable to just calling the SendAbort method.
