The Dispose() and Finalize() are important methods for releasing resources in C#. We use these methods to clean up resources that are no longer needed, such as database connections and files. However, there are significant differences between the “dispose” and “finalize” methods in C#.
- The
IDisposable
interface defines the Dispose() method, while the Object class defines the Finalize() method. - Users can explicitly call the Dispose() method, whereas the Finalize() method is automatically called by the garbage collector (GC) before an object is destroyed.
