8.9.6.7 Finalizers A class definition that creates an object type can supply an instance method (called a finalizer) to be called when an instance of the class is no longer reachable. Implies that finalizers are optional. The one bit of reference (Partition V) leads to incomplete documentation. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics.
