What is Dispose block in .net?

[chinmay.sahoo]

• Dispose() is called by the user

• Same purpose as finalize, to free unmanaged reso rces. However, implement this when you are writing a

custom class, that will be used by other users.

• Overriding Dispose() provides a way for user code to free the nmanaged objects in your custom class.

• Dispose() has to be implemented in classes implementing IDispose interface.

• Dispose() method is called explicitly in the code itself.

Dispose is used to explicitly release resources before garbage collector frees the object. If programmer wants to explicitly release resources, dispose is used.

Dispose is a better pattern which allows programmer to clear unmanaged memory
