Why call dispose(false) in the destructor?

Question

What follows is a typical dispose pattern example:

 public bool IsDisposed { get; private set; }

  #region IDisposable Members

  public void Dispose()
  {
         


        

Answer 1

Inside the if(disposing) you are supposed to call dispose/close on managed objects that have unmanaged resources (e.g. database connections).When the finalizer is called these objects are not longer reachable so the objects themselves can be finalized and you don't need to call dispose on them. Also the order of finalization is undeterminated so you may be calling dispose on already disposed objects.
