Does garbage collector call Dispose()? [duplicate]

Answer 1

The GC does not call Dispose, it calls your finalizer (which you should make call Dispose(false)).

Please look at the related posts on the side or look up the C# best practices for the Dispose pattern (The docs on IDisposable explain it quite well IIRC.)

Answer 2

Short answer is "no". More detailed answers can be found on my replies to "Is it bad practice to depend on the .NET Garbage Collector" and "What happens if I don't call Dispose()"
