Bad Practice

void AllWebsAddLeak()
{
  using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("http://moss"))
  {
    SPWeb web = siteCollection.AllWebs.Add("site-relative URL");
    // SPWeb object leaked.
  }  // SPSite object siteCollection.Dispose() automatically called.

  }  // SPSite object siteCollection.Dispose() automatically called.  
}
