Dispose() and Finalize() are crucial methods for releasing resources in C#. These methods are used to clean up resources, such as database connections and files that are no longer needed. However, there are some 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.
