IDispoable, class and Interface

Hi,

For this article: http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/older-versions/getting-started-with-ef-5-using-mvc-4/implementing-the-repository-and-unit-of-work-patterns-in-an-asp-net-mvc-application

There is this code:

namespace ContosoUniversity.DAL
{
    public interface IStudentRepository : IDisposable
    {
        IEnumerable<Student> GetStudents();
        Student GetStudentByID(int studentId);
        void InsertStudent(Student student);
        void DeleteStudent(int studentID);
        void UpdateStudent(Student student);
        void Save();
    }
}

namespace ContosoUniversity.DAL
{
    public class StudentRepository : IStudentRepository, IDisposable
    {
        private SchoolContext context;

        public StudentRepository(SchoolContext context)
        {
            this.context = context;
        }

        public IEnumerable<Student> GetStudents()
        {
            return context.Students.ToList();
        }

        public Student GetStudentByID(int id)
        {
            return context.Students.Find(id);
        }

        public void InsertStudent(Student student)
        {
            context.Students.Add(student);
        }

        public void DeleteStudent(int studentID)
        {
            Student student = context.Students.Find(studentID);
            context.Students.Remove(student);
        }

        public void UpdateStudent(Student student)
        {
            context.Entry(student).State = EntityState.Modified;
        }

        public void Save()
        {
            context.SaveChanges();
        }

        private bool disposed = false;

        protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (!this.disposed)
            {
                if (disposing)
                {
                    context.Dispose();
                }
            }
            this.disposed = true;
        }

        public void Dispose()
        {
            Dispose(true);
            GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
        }
    }
}

We can find that the IStudentRepository interface inherit IDispose interface, however StudentRepository class implement the IDispose interface! In my opinion, since IStudentRepository has already inherit IDispose interface, the StudentRepository class doesn't need to implement IDispose interface. Am I right?

What's the reason of that?

Thanks
