Object Lifetime

• Finalize() is called when an object is garbage collected.
  • In C# you define this like a C++ destructor ~MyClass() instead of overriding Finalize().
  • This is not usually implemented.
• IDisposable defines the Dispose() method.
  • This is called manually by the client when finished to release resources.
• Lazy<T> is a wrapper class that implements lazy initialization.
