Disposed vs Finalize

[Mike]

Hi,

I am calling some unmanaged code from a WebService class and want to ensure
that the resources are released when the WebService class is disposed.

Should I put the cleanup code in the WebServices Disposed event or override
the Finalize method?

Thanks.

Hi Mike,
you should definitely use the Dispose method. This can be a long discussion
so please read something on Dispose pattern in .NET Framework.
