First of all, locking has little use when selecting. Second, the lock is released as soon as the statement completes. What did you think it does?

ok but this is when that you use COMMIT end of my related code. but i dont use COMMIT tran in my code. and if use this code you can see that this table is lock:

select * from sys.dm_tran_locks inner join sys.objects on sys.dm_tran_locks.resource_associated_entity_id=sys.objects.[object_id]

First, it's a lousy example; there's no way that the server can "guess" whether it should be rolled back or comitted automatically. Second, there is nothing to commit or rollback, since a SELECT statement doesn't change the data. Don't use a transaction when selecting. Also, set [XACT ABORT](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188792.aspx)[[^](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188792.aspx "New Window")] to ON. Also, don't lock an entire table, unless really, really required.
