@TrevorPilley, it's still not correct. Your current text makes it sound like Finalize() has something to do with IDisposable. Sure, when you have Finalize() you almost always implement IDisposable too, but it's not technically necessary.

Corrected the last paragraph as I mistakenly put Dispose() instead of Finalize() and added some additional clarification.

| Mar 5, 2012 at 22:08 | comment | added | svick | @SeanH, well, I don't think that's a pedantic error. I think it's quite important and if you believe what Trevor wrote, it might bite you big time. | |
| Mar 5, 2012 at 21:46 | comment | added | Sean H | @svick - I don't think you understand the meaning of the word "completely." For example, finding a pedantic error among a multi-faceted answer that is otherwise correct is not "completely wrong." I'm only saying something because your comment may mislead some people with regards to the quality of the question. | |

This is completely wrong. The GC never calls Dispose(). But it does call the finalizer, which usually does the same cleanup of unmanaged resources as Dispose().
