In this particular case it's true, but in a more general case it can be earlier. For instance:

void Foo()
{
string x = GrabSomeLongString();
Console.WriteLine (x.Length);

// Lots more code here

// Nothing referring to x

// End of method
}

The variable "x" does not prevent the long string from being garbage collected (in release mode) before the end of the method, even though it's still in scope.
