good advice on C# finalizers
2008-04-25 @ 20:02#
this post is a good reference on the importance (and often improper use) of the Finalizer pattern in .NET.
the short version:
If you create a Finalize method (~Class in C#), even if it is empty, this will put the object on the finalize queue.
of course, the other key point is that you only need a finalizer when your managed code (C#) has a pointer to unmanaged code(C/C++, etc.).
