protected override void Finalize()

Visual C++

protected:
virtual void Finalize() override

JScript

protected override function Finalize()

Remarks

This method overrides Finalize. Application code should not call this method; an object's Finalize method is automatically invoked during garbage collection, unless finalization by the garbage collector has been disabled by a call to the SuppressFinalize method.

For more information, see Finalize Methods and Destructors, Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources, and Overriding the Finalize Method.
